Flash needs surgery for his torn ACL

Hi I am Dennis and I am hoping for your help in pooling money towards my best friends surgery.

He tore his ACL and the surgery price tag is beyond my means.

he has touched many lives and I’m hoping to give him back some of his energy and spirit so he’s back to normal for the years we have left together.

-Tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO): In this procedure, a cut is made in the top of tibia, allowing us to rotate the top of the tibia to remove the slope. By altering the biomechanics of the joint, we are able to negate the need for the cruciate ligament and provide a stable surface for the femur to rest on. The two parts of the tibia are held in the new position with a plate and screws. Though the plate and screws are no longer needed once the bone has healed, most patients keep their implants for the rest of their lives unless infection or irritation occur. Following surgery, most patients become toe-touching within the first few days. By the two week recheck, most patients are consistently placing their leg though lameness will still be noted. This should steadily improve over the following weeks. Strict rest is required until the bone has healed, at approximately 8-12 weeks following surgery. Potential complications associated with this procedure include infection, need for implant removal, future meniscal injury, patellar luxation, incisional complications, pivot shift, persistent lameness, and fracture.
