Sandara Park: Re: Orthodogs ACL and CCL? Collin -UPDATE

I would agree... but the implant or surgery itself could fail

But is almost bulletproof

In any case once a knee is fixed with tta or tplo it cant be reinjured.

I took Collin in for his pre-surgery bloodwork and the Dr let me know that the surgeon had look at his xrays and thinks he may have to shave off a little bone in order to make the implant sit correctly. Any thoughts?

I get that this conformation issue could lead to the knee injuring itself again 7 years later like it did, but I feel like this is something I should have talked to the first Dr that did the first surgery.
