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.
