Hello, this is Chubu Vet.

The other day, We performed Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO)

TPLO is performed when the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee joint is damaged.
The main implimintation of this surgery is for larger dogs.

There is also a technique using an artificial ligament, But it often fails because it cannot
withstand the exercise and weight of large dogs.

There are many causes of anterior cruciate
ligament injuries, Including accidents, During exercise, Obesity and slippery environments.

Moderate exercise and environmental considerations are important.
