TPLO Surgery For Dogs

Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) is a common orthopedic knee surgery for dogs with a torn Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL). Colorado Springs Veterinary Surgery and Rehab Center has an experienced team of veterinarians trained in all aspects of TPLO surgery, and we are proud to offer this service to the dog community in Colorado Springs, CO.

TPLO Surgery For Dogs

A dog’s CCL is similar to a human’s Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), and ACL injuries are one of the most common medical conditions in dogs. Like humans, a dog’s knee has a femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and various ligaments. However, a dog’s knee is always bent, which causes tension to the CCL located inside the knee joint. This constant tension makes the ligament susceptible to sprains and tears.

Your dog can experience a CCL injury due to excessive use, breeding issues (hip dysplasia), obesity, and general wear and tear. A torn CCL causes pain and inflammation. Some dogs cannot even put any weight on the affected leg, which reduces their mobility and negatively impacts their overall quality of life. TPLO surgery is an effective solution for a torn CCL, providing significant long-term health benefits for your favorite companion. Our veterinary team will carefully evaluate your dog to determine how they can benefit from surgery based on their size, breed, and overall health status.

Colorado Springs Veterinary Surgery and Rehab Center specializes in customized care and is committed to providing high-quality health and rehabilitation treatment for your pet so they can feel better quickly. Our practice also serves as a resource for smaller veterinary clinics that cannot offer specialty services such as orthopedic surgery and physical therapy. Our connection with our pet patients and dedication to taking excellent care of them sets us apart.

FAQs hjhubhb hu

We are dedicated to providing the highest level of care and friendly, compassionate service.

Anesthesia-free dentistry, or non-professional dental scaling, can pose serious risks to your pet. Without anesthesia, pets may move suddenly, increasing the chance of injury to their gums or mouth, and even risking bites to the clinician. More importantly, effective dental care requires cleaning beneath the gumline, where disease begins—something that is uncomfortable and unsafe without anesthesia. Proper procedures also protect your pet’s airway and prevent debris from entering the lungs. Cosmetic-only cleanings may look helpful but do not address underlying dental disease.

Fleas and ticks are not just minor nuisances; they can transmit serious and sometimes life-threatening diseases, some of which can be passed to people. Even indoor-only pets are at risk because fleas and ticks can hitch a ride inside on your clothing, shoes, or other pets. Keeping your pet on a monthly preventive is your best bet for protecting your pet—and your family—against these parasites.

If you purchase preventives from sources other than a veterinary hospital or a website affiliated with a veterinary hospital, you don’t have any guarantee that the product is authentic or that it has been stored and shipped properly. When you order from your veterinarian, you’ll have the added benefit of being able to rely on his or her expertise and knowledge of your pet’s medical history.
