Lateral Suture CCL Repair for Dogs in Teaneck, NJ
A torn cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) — the canine equivalent of the human ACL — is one of the most common causes of hind-limb lameness in dogs. At Bergen Veterinary Hospital, our surgical team performs lateral suture repair, a well-established surgical technique that stabilizes the knee joint by placing a strong suture outside the joint to mimic the function of the torn ligament.
Is Lateral Suture Repair Right for Your Dog?
Lateral suture repair is often an excellent option for smaller and moderately active dogs, offering effective stabilization at a lower cost than more complex bone-cutting techniques — without compromising the quality of your dog's recovery. Our team will evaluate your dog's size, activity level, and injury to recommend the best approach, then guide you through surgery, pain management, and a structured rehabilitation plan.
