Medical Director at Deer-Grove Veterinary Clinic - Cottage Grove, Wisconsin, United States
We offer routine preventive care, vaccinations, diagnostics (laboratory and x-ray), dental care, treatment and surgery for small animals. We are proud to offer a specialized orthopedic surgery called tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) to repair the most common knee injury in dogs, which is referred to as either an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear or cranial cruciate ligament (CCL). Introduced to the U.S. in 2004, TTA is the newest type of surgery for this injury-induced lameness. While it is simpler to do than the other most common surgery for cruciate ligament injuries, the TPLO, it still requires a specifically trained surgeon and specialized equipment. TTA is less invasive than a TPLO, has a shorter recovery time, has less risk for complications, and takes less time in surgery.
