Dog Knee Surgery · Madison Heights, MI
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 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.

A Real Knee-Surgery Story
"New to the area, no clue where to go when my 2.5 year old pup is clearly injured. Found this practice online and took a chance based on the reviews. So glad we did. They quickly diagnosed his CCL injury and explained our options. The surgery took place about five days later and went off well, with no issues. It was heartening to see how happy the staff was to see my sweet pup when we came back for the two follow-up visits."
