I don't know the difference between mlp and lp. Lucy had grade 4 LP. Her femurs were curved, but not a lot. They didn't have to cut them to straighten them, but they did have to move muscles and tendons by cutting out a chip of bone that was attached to the muscle or tendon and repositioning it with a pin in different place.
Were the previous vets orthopedic surgeons? If not, I would be more likely to go with the opinion of the orthopedic surgeon. If your not sure you trust him, find another orthopedic surgeon to get another opinion. |
