Sandara Park: Re: Orthodogs ACL and CCL? Collin

Yeah, that's what I'm dealing with on my other dog! We had the 1st ACL back in Dec and she will have the 2nd one done after Collin gets this one done. I did the traditional ACL and holy cow! The TPLO was a breeze compared to that!

We did - sort of. My big male Boxer ruptured the left cruciate and had the old "fishing line repair" which is what I think you're talking about. He had a long recuperation. Within 4 months he had torn the CL on the OTHER/RIGHT leg! That time we had TPLO. Much easier recuperation and better outcome.

Or vet told us at the time of the first injury....."it's not uncommon for these dogs to blow the other knee " :-(

About 2 yrs after that he was charged "out of nowhere" by an unleashed dog (my dog was leashed) and he tore the meniscus in the FIRST LEG/LEFT TRADITIONAL REPAIR.

Hello,

Looking for some group input here, thanks in advance. Collin is a 7.5 84lb pit. At 6 months old, he was diagnosed with hip displasia and the vet recommended that we wait on any corrective surgery until he finished growing. THEN he tore the ACL in that knee and we decided it would not be prudent to wait. I can't remember the order that we had the surgeries, but ultimately we had a femoral head ostectomy and then the ACL repair (I think the lateral suture???)

Fast forward to December 2019- He tore the CCL in the same knee. He goes in for TPLO surgery in 2 weeks. I can't remember ever hearing about dog blowing out both tendons in the same leg. Does anyone have any experience with this? I would love to hear your input.

Thanks!
Elice Sturdivant and Collin
