- What is a TTA surgery and what are its advantages?
- TTA, or Tibial Tuberosity Advancement, is a surgical technique for stabilizing cranial cruciate ligament injury in dogs. It involves advancing a section of the tibial crest to change the angle of forces applied to the knee joint, providing stabilization. Advantages compared to TPLO include a smaller, less invasive osteotomy in a non-weight-bearing area, and potentially fewer complications.
