My dog has just had her 2nd hind leg TPLO yesterday. This video is absolutely brilliant as I didn’t know exactly what was done. I could vaguely see from the photo of the x Ray I was given, but this video is far more accurate for me to see & understand. Thank you for this video.

No need to worry. These surgeries have a great success rate and are very commonplace. Your dog should do fine and the procedure should last their lifetime.

Our dog had to have this procedure and we were very apprehensive about it but we found a board certified canine orthopedic surgeon and after talking to him, we felt much better. The surgery was done and though the first few days were hard, our dog made steady improvement and was good to go after the recovery period. Unfortunately, he promptly blew out the other knee and we just got him home from round two. I think the important thing is to find the right doctor. Yes, the surgery is very expensive but our dog is only five years old and full of life. We wanted to restore his ability to run and play, eliminate his pain, and enjoy life. Your dog will come home with a cone to prevent licking and biting the incision. I think dogs hate the cone, I can only imagine what it’s like for the dog. There are alternatives to the cone, I suggest you look into those pre surgery. Good luck with your pup, we love our fur babies.

@seekthetruth1485 2 ай бұрын

Great video. Our baby just had both of her knees done...very hard recovery, but both were bad, and even if you do one knee...most often the other will go bad soon after. One long recovery for her, but a week out and she is doing great. She is a big girl at 85 pounds, so it has been hard on us to use the sling, and take her to go to the bathroom. She refused the collar, and the dounut..so Lick Sleeve was our answer...it's working great so far. Good luck to everyone!

Don't do it! Try a custom-made orthotic brace first. We had a TPLO in March. The TPLO was followed by an Extracapsular Lateral Suture Stabilization surgery in April. BOTH failed and resulted in pivot shift phenomenon and infection. All hardware was removed in May. Now awaiting a custom-made orthotic brace. Four months of pain and more than $10,000 with zero results. We're worse now than before the TPLO. START with a custom-made orthotic brace.

My dog tore his ACL at six months. The vet said it would progress until he could not use his leg again and then the other leg would go out. After researching the situation, I opted not to have surgery and crated him for a month allowing him out only to relieve himself. it gradually healed. He is now seven and runs like nothing happened.

@@lunacielo7680 I am sure every dog is different with recovery but our dog showed signs very slowly. We massaged her coat to relax her and massaged her muscles around her thigh and upper leg too seemed to relax her. She has recently started running a bit but not for too long and then she limps a little bit but I think it’s because her muscles have been so relaxed is why she limps not because of the actual surgery. I hope your dog is ok.

Our dog just had her second. She is recovering well. I am so incredibly thankful for this option and that we can afford to pay for two surgeries because she is essentially my husbands service dog. Cannot imagine life without her. If we ever do get another dog we will get a rescue vs another purebred springer spaniel as I’ve been told it happens less often

My GSD had this surgery this past Wednesday (Jan 3, 2024)… the Dr was very good at explaining but I on the other hand, was having difficulty understanding. Either way I knew it was going to have to be done. We are just past the 48 hr post surgery point and she’s doing very well. With all of that being said, this video has helped me so much to understand exactly what was done and why it was needed. Total cost was around $4800, this included pre surgical visit, ex ray, meds, surgery and will also cover all post op visits.

I just can't bring myself to put my 10 year old through this major surgery and the recovery period. I think the surgeons who recommend this don't take into consideration the health and physical ability of the dogs' caretakers. I know I can't lift a 60 lb dog for the first few days without ending up with a cervical fusion myself. I am opting for conservative management as she is, for the most part, a house dog and not a runner. The video was very well done, and thank you. I wish I had seen it prior to the expense of having all xrays repeated after the referral fees and films. I have a failed lumbar fusion myself, and pain management can be achieved over the same time period that it takes to recover. Best wishes to all who choose this type of surgery. I dearly love my dog but can't imagine her being calm enough to have a good recovery. I also felt pressured to go the surgical route by being asked if I wanted my dog to live in pain for the rest of her life. Pain meds do exist! Of course I don't want her in pain the rest of her life. Now the vet will not treat her with adequan without the cost of a full exam with each injection. Where is the compassion for those who love their dogs but can't afford 6 grand plus??

Had this done to a great hunting 7 year old GSP for 4k. I was told after rehab, she'd be able to hunt again. First time out hunting , she tore the other knee, another 4k. She never hunted again. She recovered well and lived to be 16 but was not able to run anywhere close to the way she could before the injuries. She even walked differently, GSP's have a bounce to their gate when they walk, after the surgery, the bounce was gone. But she did live out a full, pain free life. It's a very difficult decision to have this surgery done.

Why use non locking screws at all?

@innerpeace3395 Жыл бұрын

Non-locking screws have some advantages. They allow a sliding relationship between the screw head and the plate recess in which the screw head seats. As the screw is tightened down and the head of the screw is pulled down into the recess of the plate, the head of the screw (by virtue of the ramp-like shape of the recess) will slide towards the osteotomy (cut made by the saw blade) in the bone. The segment of bone will slide towards the osteotomy, and provided, the other side of the osteotomy has some locking screws in it, the osteotomy site will be compressed. A compressed osteotomy site is very desirable, as the rough surfaces mesh together and provide extra strength/stability and shorter healing times. A non-locking screw also allows the angle of the screw (relative to the plate) to be varied a little, which can assist in achieving purchase in the bone in some circumstances. Finally, non-locking screws are cheaper than locking ones. The ideal is to have a mixture of locking and non-locking screws.
