My veterinarian has suggested surgically fixing my dog’s CCL using a tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA). What does this surgery involve? The TTA procedure is more commonly performed in dogs with a steep tibial plateau (the angle of the top part of the tibia).

2023年6月28日 · What is TTA Surgery in Dogs? TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement) surgery is a cutting-edge orthopaedic procedure designed to treat dogs suffering from cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries. The CCL, similar to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in humans, provides stability within the knee joint.

TIBIAL tuberosity advancement (TTA) is one of the many surgical treatment options for dogs with cranial cruciate ligament (CrCl) damage. This major cause of hindlimb lameness in dogs can be due to degenerative changes or, more commonly, traumatic causes such as the patient jumping.

2024年12月9日 · Tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) is a surgical procedure performed on dogs to stabilize the knee joint after a rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), often referred to as the ACL in humans. This comprehensive guide will delve into the details of TTA surgery, covering everything from the procedure itself to recovery and long-term care.

The functional outcome in 37 dogs with 40 TTA surgeries using first generation implants was evaluated. Complete ligament rupture was identified in 28 limbs, and partial rupture in 12 limbs. Medial meniscus was damaged in 21 stifles.

2024年1月12日 · TTA surgery is a highly effective procedure for dogs suffering from cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries. It provides a long-term solution to improve their quality of life and alleviate pain. While the decision to undergo TTA surgery should be made in consultation with your veterinarian, understanding what to expect before, during, and ...

The mechanism by which TTA helps dogs with cruciate disease is to advance the tibial tuberosity to alter the direction of the force transmitted through the patellar tendon: to change what is called the patellar tendon angle (PTA) and realign the ‘dynamic forces’ that occur in the knee joint when the foot is placed on the ground.

2024年9月30日 · TTA surgery involves altering the biomechanics of a dog's knee joint to stabilize it without relying on the damaged CCL. The surgery advances the tibial tuberosity (a part of the shinbone) forward, changing the angle of the knee joint and eliminating the need for the CCL to maintain stability.

A tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) is used to treat a torn cranial cruciate ligament (CCL). Unlike other procedures, the goal of this surgery is not to recreate or repair the ligament itself, but rather change the dynamics of the knee so that the cranial cruciate ligament is no longer necessary for stabilizing the joint.

Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA) is a specialized orthopedic procedure designed to stabilize the knee joint in dogs suffering from a cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tear. Unlike traditional ligament repair methods, TTA modifies the knee’s biomechanics, eliminating cranial tibial thrust to restore joint stability.
