So things went well with her surgery. She had a 50% tear in her cruciate ligament. So that had to be repaired. The goove that her petella (knee cap) rides in was shallow so she had to have trochleopasty to deepen the groove. Finally to help prevent this from happening again, She had a tibial tuberosity advancement.(TTA). TTA stabilizes the knee joint by changing the geometry and physics of the knee. Tibia Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO): This gives us a little shorter recovery in theory than the Tibia Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO).
