Cruciate Surgery to Help Your Dog Move Comfortably

Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries restrict mobility and diminish the quality of life of our companions. Extracapsular surgery from Veterinary Medical Associates repairs painful cruciate injuries and gets dogs back to normal activities faster than other orthopedic surgeries.

Many surgeries used to repair these injuries require up to 16 weeks of recovery. The technique used by our Modesto veterinarians can have your pup walking on the surgical leg in as little as two weeks and back to normal function in as little as four weeks.
