Lainey 18 Hours Post TTA Surgery.wmv

http://www.azzore.com/tibial-tuberosity-advancement-tta/

Dr. Dew has performed nearly 900 Tibial Tuberosity Advancements (TTA) since 2003. While 43% of his TTA patients have been Labrador Retrievers, he has even performed this procedure on the occasional feline patient. Not only the is TTA an excellent stand-alone procedure, but it can also be easily used to revise other procedures such as Securos, Leader line, Tight rope, TPLO and Fascial strip.

And what about complications? The rate is very low. Out of 876 TTA's, we have had 1 infection; 43 major complications; 16 patella luxations; 5 fractures (due to non-compliance with exercise restriction); 6 post-op meniscus tears; 11 hardware removal; and 5 incision revisions. All complications were resolved.

How soon does the patient become weight bearing? This is Lainey 18 hours after bi-later TTA surgery.
