Pet ACL Surgery in Braselton, GA
When a pet injures their ACL (cranial cruciate ligament), it can make every step painful. At FairPet Surgery Center in Braselton, GA, we provide specialized care to help pets regain their mobility and comfort. Whether your pet needs a TPLO or a lateral suture procedure, our veterinary team is here to guide you through the process with compassion and expertise.
Understanding Pet ACL Surgery
A torn ACL can make it difficult for pets to walk, run, or even stand comfortably. Surgery is often the best way to restore function and prevent further joint damage. Depending on your pet’s size, activity level, and specific needs, we may recommend a TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) or a lateral suture stabilization to support the knee and reduce pain.
Why Pet ACL Surgery Matters
Pets with untreated ACL injuries may develop arthritis, muscle loss, and ongoing discomfort. Surgery provides:
- Better stability in the knee joint
- Faster recovery compared to non-surgical options
- Long-term pain relief and improved mobility
When to Consider Surgery
If your pet is limping, hesitant to jump, or showing signs of knee pain, it’s time to consult a veterinarian. ACL injuries don’t heal on their own, and delaying treatment can lead to further complications. Early intervention gives your pet the best chance at a smooth recovery.

Pet ACL Surgery
Orthopedic procedure that changes the shape of the shin bone to correct the geometry of the joint. This addresses the root of the problem with ACL tears. It involves reshaping the bone with the use of a bone plate and screws.
This procedure involves placing an implant on the outside of the joint to mimic the action of the ACL. We do not perform this surgery in dogs weighing more than 30lbs. An x-ray evaluation of the knee is required to confirm whether your pet is a good candidate for this surgery
