| LP question Ok Callie had LP in one of her back legs and her ACL partially teared a few years ago and she had surgery on it. Do you still consider the knee a knee with LP or is is just a regular knee now? Hope that doesn't sound weird.

| I would call it a repaired knee. It would be useful for a vet to know if they don't know Callie's history and she has problems with the same knee in the future. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | The LP causes them to be more suspectible to a torn ACL but no it doesn't correct the LP. Its two different surgeries.

| She could still have a luxating patella. They do repair them when they repair the ligament but sometimes the LP can return. Next time you see your vet, have her check it out. I have a pup who had a TPLO repair done on his cruciate ligament but two LP repairs failed and he still has LP grade 2 which at this point is just going to stay that way. His cruciate is fixed! My guess is she probably is fine...usually they are. Once in a while a pup can have a really difficult issue with bone structure and it gets in the way of LP repairs.

| She had LP surgery and ACL surgery at the same time.
