TPLO Info

TPLO stands for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy. It is a surgery that helps dogs with knee injuries that are similar to ACL tears in people.

​

We do not fix the torn ligament. Instead, we make a cut in the shin bone (tibia) and rotate the top part of the bone, changing the slope and making the knee more stable.
