Our orthopedic unit is led by specialist veterinarians with advanced surgical training in procedures including TPLO, TTA, CCL repair, and IVDD treatment. We apply the same clinical standards used in US specialty hospitals, at a fraction of the cost, without compromising quality.

Both procedures stabilize the knee after a cranial cruciate ligament rupture, but they do so through different biomechanical approaches. TPLO modifies the tibial plateau angle, while TTA advances the tibial tuberosity. The right choice depends on your dog's size, age, activity level, and anatomy. Our surgeon will evaluate your pet and recommend the most appropriate technique during the consultation.
