Description
This is a documentary style video depicting the TPLO procedure, or Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy in a dog named Bandit. This surgery is performed in dogs that have suffered an ACL, or CrCL(cranial cruciate ligament) rupture. By making an elliptical cut in the top portion of the tibia, or lower leg bone, the veterinary surgeon is able to rotate the joint surface to eliminate the need for CrCL/ACL ligament in the dog. Watch Bandit as he goes through this procedure and all the details of his surgery.
