I know there are several threads on here regarding ACL injuries and surgery but I have not seen a lot of discussion on the TYPES of surgery. Brody (4 years old) tore his ACL on Friday and had x-rays today. Our vet called and confirmed that he did tear his ACL (I'm going to pick him up and look at the x-rays in a few hours). I've done some research and feel like traditional (extracapsular) surgery would be best for a corgi. I've read that TPLO is typically best for larger breeds and that the metal can cause complications down the road. Does anyone have any experience with this? Opinions? Success stories?
