The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is a crucial ligament in your pet’s knee joint and is responsible for stability and support during movement. Just like in humans, ACL injuries in pets can occur due to sudden twisting motions, overexertion, or even degeneration over time.
When your pet undergoes ACL repair at Dynamite Creek Animal Hospital, they are in the hands of experienced veterinarians who specialize in orthopedic surgery. The procedure involves reconstructing the damaged ligament to restore stability to the knee joint. We use advanced techniques and equipment to ensure precise and effective repair.
