- OrthopedicsJust as physical therapy is crucial to the best outcome possible in human orthopedics it provides a much better chance of success in pet orthopedics too. After your pet has undergone either the TTA or TPLO surgery their stifle has been reconstructed to allow comfortable function without the ligament. The stabilizing force that was applied to the joint by the ligament when it was functioning is now being applied by the quadracep muscle group located on the front of the thigh. It is important that these muscles continue to maintain their strength and function well so that they may keep the joint stable. A trained physical therapist can help your pet with exercises that will improve flexibility and strength to assure the best outcome possible from these surgeries. There are several qualified physical therapists in the Madison area that can provide these services. We will give you the contact information for them at your surgery discharge.
