Advanced Cruciate Ligament Surgery for Dogs by DVM Susanne Arndt
Cruciate ligament injuries are common in dogs and can significantly impact their mobility and quality of life. Our Small Animal Center is equipped to perform various types of cruciate ligament surgeries, tailored to meet the specific needs of each dog. Our offerings include:
- TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy)
- TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement)
- Zlig (Z-Ligament Reconstruction)
- Fadenzügel (Suture Techniques)
TPLO: Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy
TPLO is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to stabilize the knee joint in dogs suffering from cruciate ligament tears. By altering the dynamics of the knee, TPLO allows for a quicker and more stable recovery. This surgery is particularly beneficial for larger and more active dogs.
TTA: Tibial Tuberosity Advancement
TTA is another advanced surgical technique aimed at stabilizing the knee joint. This procedure involves repositioning the tibial tuberosity, effectively changing the biomechanics of the knee to prevent abnormal motion and promote healing. TTA is ideal for dogs of various sizes and activity levels.
Zlig: Z-Ligament Reconstruction
Zlig is a less invasive option that uses a synthetic ligament to replace the damaged cruciate ligament. This technique provides immediate stability and allows for a faster recovery time compared to traditional methods. It is suitable for dogs with varying degrees of cruciate ligament damage.
Fadenzügel: Suture Techniques
Fadenzügel, or suture techniques, are traditional methods of repairing cruciate ligament tears. These techniques involve using sutures to stabilize the knee joint, offering a reliable and time-tested solution for smaller dogs and those with less severe injuries.
