What they do is make a deeper groove for the patella to stay in and it pops out most times anyway. Im just telling you my experience.
The surgery works 90 percent of the time not sure where you got your info from but I did a crazy amount of research and many many places said 90% is successful. Also I would never let a regular vet tell me weather my dog need LP surgery but go to an orthopedic surgeon. Most of the yorkies on here who have had the surgery have been successful.
