Introducing TPLO Surgery at Carson Animal Hospital
Advanced Knee Stabilization for Dogs, Now Available In-House
We’re excited to announce that Carson Animal Hospital now offers Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery—an advanced orthopedic procedure designed to stabilize the knee in dogs with a ruptured Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CrCL), the canine equivalent of the ACL in humans.
A CrCL tear can cause pain, lameness, and long-term joint damage if left untreated. TPLO surgery is a proven solution that can significantly improve your dog’s mobility and quality of life—often helping them return to normal activity levels.
Why Choose TPLO Surgery?
TPLO is one of the most effective surgical options for dogs suffering from CrCL injuries. It works by changing the biomechanics of the knee joint to eliminate the need for the damaged ligament altogether, leading to:
- Improved joint stability
- Faster return to mobility
- Reduced risk of arthritis over time
Expert Care Without the Referral Hassle
While TPLO is commonly performed by veterinary specialists, we understand that referrals can be costly, time-consuming, or simply not feasible for every pet owner. That’s why our experienced team at Carson Animal Hospital is proud to offer TPLO surgery right here in our clinic.
Our veterinarians have undergone advanced training to safely and effectively perform TPLO procedures, ensuring your pet receives top-tier care close to home.
Does Your Dog Need TPLO?
Signs of a possible CrCL tear include:
✅ Limping or favoring one leg
✅ Trouble standing up, jumping, or climbing stairs
✅ Decreased activity or reluctance to play
If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, your dog may be a candidate for TPLO surgery. Early intervention can make a big difference.
