| Re: Damaged Ligament - surgery options
Sounds to me by the difference in price that one vet will be using the dogs own muscle tissue to repair the ligament (I have had this done over the years about 6 times with different dogs) and the other will be using the TPLO method where they cut into the bone making a V.
My dogs have never had a problem with replacing the ligament naturally, There is some concern that cutting into bones can increase the risk of bone cancer at that site but I dont think there has been any veterinary studies into this yet?? |
