I concur that you need a ACVS.org certified surgeon to assess and to operate. My almost 12 year old just had the surgery and the surgeon fixed the torn ACL and also fixed the LP. I wouldn't let a general vet do this surgery on my dog. My dog had an extracapsular repair ("fishing line") but our surgeon does all the other options so I felt good knowing that if another procedure was better suited I'd have had the option.
