ACL Repair

A CCL (cranial cruciate ligament) repair is one of the most common orthopedic surgeries performed in dogs. This type of tear causes instability in the knee joint, which can lead to abnormal movement and debilitating arthritis if left untreated. Count on our veterinary team to perform your dog's CCL repair and get them on the road to recovery.
