Buster has LP surgery tomorrow Buster will have his second LP surgery tomorrow, on the same leg. He had his first surgery April 22. He had a torn ACL and the surgeon put in a plate and five pins. He fixed his LP at the same time. When he went back to have the sutures removed after ten days, the surgeon said he had torn some internal sutures. However, Buster's gait never improved, it got worse. We took him back this past Tuesday and the surgeon took xrays and the kneecap has turned completely to the side of the leg (that's the best way I can explain it). The ACL has healed and the plate and pins will be removed during the surgery for the LP.
Please keep Buster in your thoughts and prayers.
