FAQ

What is a TPLO Surgery?

Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery is a specialized orthopedic procedure used to treat cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears in dogs by altering the angle of the tibia to stabilize the knee joint without relying on the damaged ligament.

TPLO surgery for dogs is highly effective, offering fast recovery and long-term joint stability, making it a preferred solution for active pets suffering from CCL injuries.

What is an MPL Surgery?

Medial Patellar Luxation (MPL) surgery in dogs is a corrective orthopedic procedure that realigns the kneecap (patella) to prevent it from slipping out of its natural groove, a condition common in small breeds and often caused by genetic or developmental issues

MPL surgery for dogs helps restore mobility, reduce pain, and prevent long-term joint damage, especially in moderate to severe cases (Grades III–IV) where conservative treatments are no longer effective

“5 stars are NOT enough. This establishment needs a 10-star rating. Dr. Moser & the staff at VSB are the best. Our fur baby had to have leg surgery & the staff here are extremely compassionate, caring & sweet. They kept us updated on our baby girl's surgery. Nurse Katie is the best. Love her. I want to give a huge shout out to everyone there, from the front desk receptionist, but everyone was so good, I cannot thank them enough. Our fur baby is home, managing pain well & recovering. Thanks so much, VSB.”
