Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO): Surgical Treatment of Your Dog’s Knee Injury

چکیده
Understanding disease of the Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) The CCL is one of the most important stabilizers of the knee. It prevents hyperextension, limits internal rotation, and prevents the tibia (shin bone) from sliding forward each time the leg bears weight. When the CCL is damaged, the result is an unstable knee. This instability results in pain and inflammation. Over time, debilitating arthritis develops.
