I need a surgery! : *(

I had a torn ligament on my left knee and I need a surgery.
TIBIAL PLATEAU LEVELING OSTEOTOMY (TPLO):
This procedure uses a fresh approach to the biomechanics of the knee joint and is meant to address the lack of success seen with the above two techniques long term in larger dogs. With this surgery the tibia is cut and rotated in such a way that the natural weight-bearing of the dog actually stabilizes the knee joint. As before the knee joint still must be opened and damaged meniscus removed.
The cruciate remnants may or may not be removed depending on the degree of damage.

This surgery is complex and involves special training in this specific technique. Many radiographs are necessary to calculate the angle of the osteotomy (the cut in the tibia). At this time the TPLO is felt to be the best way to repair a cruciate rupture regardless of the size of the dog and is probably the only procedure to be considered for dogs over 50lbs. This surgery typically costs twice as much as the extracapsular method.
