Our dog Daisy has two bum knees. Both are grade 4 luxating patella. She had surgery on one leg in 2002 and it was performed by a board certified orthopedic surgeon. She has done great with no problems since. We had to do surgery as she was lame. The other leg is a grade 4 also but we have been advised that surgery is not recommended for her as she is not in pain and she is fully mobile. My choice was a board certified surgeon as I was not comfortable with allowing a general vet to perform a specialty surgery.
