In this 40-minute CPD session on "the crucials of cruciate repair", Stavros Karydas, our Surgery Resident, discusses:
- The importance of the clinical examination
- The best approach when taking radiographs to diagnose ruptured cruciate ligaments
- Appropriate treatment options to support a full recovery for patients to be able to live a normal, active life
- Why TPLO (Total Plateau Levelling Osteotomy) is our preferred surgery and why we do not tend to perform TTA’s (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement) or Lateral Suture procedures
- Post-operative care
