Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA)

Animal Hospital of Old Saybrook has added an exciting new surgical procedure for the treatment of crancial cruciate ligament tears in the dog. Cranial cruciate ligament injuries are the most common cause of orthopedic hind limb lameness seen in veterinary practice. Causes include genetic conformational abnormalities, obesity, athletic injury and chronic degenerative joint disease. Large breed dogs are more affected than small breed dogs.
