In reply to Linda Lewis. Hi Linda. The only advice I can give on the two procedures is found in the article. Any extra will just be heresay and potentially misleading. Good luck.

In reply to Andrew.

Hi I’m looking at TPLO versus MMP for my Rottweiler- she is 47kg. Is MMP suitable for this dog?

Our insurance won’t cover the £5.5k for aTPLO but will cover £3k of MMP.

I realise that you are in Australia and we are in uk so just looking for impartial advice.

Thank you.

In reply to Susan Lamparter. Hi Susan. In the lack of other evidence, it’s best to assume that this is an analogous procedure to any other lateral capsular technique, such as the DeAngelis procedure.

My vet recommended MRIT. Can you speak to that?

Thank you for your straightforward explanation! Trying to figure out the differences of each type and what’s best has been overwhelming to say the least. Your article better equips me for our upcoming surgical consult for a ruptured CCL for my 2 yr old lab.
