Re: Requesting input or suggestions, please? Torn CCL

My 5 yr old neutered male is 12 days post TTA surgery. The surgeon we went to said she had more success with TTA than TPLO so that is all they do. When I asked why she preferred it, she laughed and said she just did it better. So I agree, do your own research and then find a surgeon you trust. Good luck! It is going to be a very long 12 weeks here!

I have a 100 lbs very active male who had a traditional lateral suture repair at 2 years of age.The dog is now 6 years old and very sound. Strict confinement at first and then rehabilitation works no matter what surgery is done.

Curious what the average is that people are paying for any of the surgeries these days?

We met with a different surgeon yesterday (board certified ortho guy) and are going with a TTA soon. Date not set in stone yet, but within the next week.
