TTA in dogs
As an experienced veterinarian, I am frequently asked whether TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement) is the right option for a dog with a cruciate ligament rupture. This article is aimed at responsible dog owners seeking a well-founded, practical, and scientifically sound basis for their decision. You will learn how TTA works, when it is appropriate, what alternatives exist, what realistic risks are, what aftercare entails, and what costs you should expect. I deliberately refer to high-quality international sources because a good decision is based on solid data – not myths.
