Advanced treatment for canine cruciate ligament injuries in Prosper, Texas

TPLO Surgery for Dogs

If your dog is limping, avoiding a rear leg, struggling to rise, or no longer enjoying normal activity, a cranial cruciate ligament injury may be the cause. This condition is often compared with an ACL tear in people.

REVIVE Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Hospital offers advanced orthopedic evaluation and TPLO surgery to stabilize the knee, relieve pain, and help dogs return to a more active life.

Walk-ins welcome. No appointment or referral required.

ACT QUICKLY

Could Your Dog Have a Cruciate Ligament Injury?

Cranial cruciate ligament disease is a common cause of rear-leg pain and lameness in dogs. Signs can develop suddenly or become more noticeable over time.

Your dog may need an orthopedic evaluation if you notice:

  • Limping or refusing to bear weight on a rear leg
  • Difficulty rising, sitting, or climbing stairs
  • Reluctance to run, play, or jump into the car
  • Stiffness after rest or exercise
  • Swelling around the knee
  • A clicking or popping sound when walking
  • Loss of muscle in the affected leg

A physical examination and appropriate imaging can help determine the cause of the pain and whether surgery is recommended.

COORDINATED EMERGENCY CARE

How TPLO Surgery Helps

TPLO stands for tibial plateau leveling osteotomy. Rather than replacing the damaged ligament, the procedure changes the mechanics of the knee so it can remain stable while the dog bears weight.

The surgeon adjusts the upper portion of the tibia and secures it with a specialized plate and screws. Following surgery, the bone needs time to heal, and activity must be carefully controlled.

Every patient is different. Our team will evaluate your dog’s condition, activity level, age, size, and overall health before recommending treatment.

Does every cruciate ligament injury require TPLO surgery?

Not every dog receives the same recommendation. The appropriate treatment depends on the injury, knee stability, size, activity level, age, and overall health of the patient.

How long does TPLO recovery take?

Bone healing requires several weeks of restricted activity followed by a gradual return to exercise. Your veterinarian will provide a recovery plan based on follow-up examinations and imaging.

Do I need a referral?

Pet owners can call REVIVE directly to discuss next steps. Referring veterinarians can also submit patient information through REVIVE’s referral process.
