Dog Knee Surgery · Madison Heights, MI

Dog Knee (ACL/CCL) Surgery

Limping or holding up a back leg? A torn cruciate won't heal on its own. We repair it with the proven Modified Maquet Procedure (MMP).

The Signs

  • Sudden limping, often after running or jumping
  • Holding up or "toe-touching" a back leg
  • Trouble rising, sitting, or taking stairs
  • A click or pop in the knee

What the MMP Does

The cranial cruciate ligament stabilizes the knee, much like the ACL in people. When it tears, the joint turns unstable and painful. The Modified Maquet Procedure (MMP) advances the tibial tuberosity so the patellar tendon carries the load the ligament once did, restoring a stable, comfortable stride.
