If your dog is suffering from a CCL rupture, it is important to receive surgical treatment as early as possible. Delaying treatment can lead to further joint damage, including meniscal tears, worsening arthritis/pain, and a similar injury in the other leg caused by overuse and requiring cruciate repair as well.

Signs Your Dog May Have a Torn ACL

A cruciate ligament injury can worsen quickly if not treated.

Watch for:

  • Limping on a back leg
  • Difficulty standing or sitting
  • Avoiding stairs or jumping
  • Sitting with one leg extended
  • Reduced activity or play
  • Knee swelling or stiffness

 If your dog shows these signs, early treatment is critical.

What is TPLO Surgery?

TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) is the most effective surgical treatment for ACL (CCL) tears in dogs.

Instead of repairing the torn ligament, TPLO:

  • Stabilizes the knee joint
  • Changes the mechanics of the joint
  • Eliminates painful instability

TPLO is considered the gold standard for treating ACL injuries in dogs, especially medium to large breeds.

FAQs - TPLO Surgery

What is the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL)?

The CCL is a ligament in your dog’s knee that stabilizes the joint. When it tears, the knee becomes unstable and painful.


Can a partial tear heal without surgery?

No. Partial tears almost always progress to full tears and worsen over time.


Will my dog tear the other ACL?

Possibly. About 40–60% of dogs may develop a tear in the opposite leg due to stress and underlying factors.


Can I schedule consult and surgery the same day?

Yes. We offer same-day consult and surgery options, especially for clients traveling long distances.
