I don't know what you mean about repairing a CCL making an impact on LP...they repair the knee when they repair the ligament.
What I will tell you is that once they tear the ligament in one knee, they are 50% more likely to tear the other.
I have had multiple pups go through surgery for torn cruciates and they did very well after....definitely only would use a boarded surgeon who does arthroscopy and TPLO. |
