Feline Cranial Cruciate Ligament Repair

Feline Cranial Cruciate Ligament Repair is a surgical procedure to address a torn or damaged ligament in a cat's knee joint. The cranial cruciate ligament helps stabilize the knee during movement. When it's injured, the joint can become unstable, leading to pain and difficulty walking. The surgery aims to stabilize the joint, often by attaching a graft or using implants to replace or support the damaged ligament. Afterward, cats typically need rest and rehabilitation to recover strength and regain normal function. The goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore the cat’s quality of life.
