Long-Term Clinical and Goniometric Follow-Up of TTA RAPID Surgery in Dogs with Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture (Acta Vet Eurasia, 2021)
This study involved ten dogs of various breeds, 54.9 ± 24.6 months of age, weighing 35.8 ± 5.6 kg, with unilateral CCL rupture. It has been found that all ten dogs had a good to excellent outcome 52 weeks after surgery, and that the use of TTA RAPID offers an alternative for treatment of CCL insufficiency in dogs, with complication rates comparable to previously reported ones and a high degree of owner satisfaction.

Testimonials
Experience with the TTA RAPID® Technique
Dr. Haroush says,
“In a large percentage of our cases, we find that the TTA RAPID® provides the best result with a lower complication rate and the fastest, least restrictive recovery. We find that patients walk better two-days post surgery that they did on initial presentation which makes our client, our patients - and obviously us - much happier.”
