That's why I am baffled when I read around here that is a fragile repair (no, it's not), that it shouldn't be done on young dogs (my dog was young and active) and that the recovery lasts longer than when TPLO or TTA is performed (no, it doesn't).
It's also less invasive and cheaper (which makes sense - less invasive, more simple, you don't need expensive hardware to stabilize the knee joint).
Consequently I am wondering, did you people who are posting against the traditional repair have experience with it that didn't go well, or are you simply copying what you have read on the internet?
