So he recommended that we go to an orthopedic board certified specialist. That is who did the surgery. The first one said that without the tibial crest movement done on oliver, we might be looking at the same thing happening 4 or 5 years down the road. Oliver's legs were pretty bad... Good luck with yours!!  | This surgeon is TPLO certified (tibial plateau levelling osteomy), which is part of why I felt so good about using him. Do you think this is the same as the tibial crest movement your vet mentioned?
