Petlig method^® - Advantages:

In the Petlig method^® Based on our experience with over 200 Zlig/Vetlig operations in the last two years, we believe the following advantages emerge, among others, compared to the aforementioned procedures, but also compared to TTA or TPLO:

If you have previously mentioned studies Analyzed in relation to TPLO or TTA, all procedures have in common that the healing of the bone structure – especially around the Drill holes but also in the use of screws This represents one of the main weak points in the healing process. Therefore, it was important for us to reduce the use of screws as much as possible and thus increase the likelihood of successful recovery for the patients. This is achieved, among other things, through the use of artificial ligaments, which are secured with so-called... Toggle.

Because the Novalig^®-bands from their structure Since the Petlig method is superior in terms of both performance and durability compared to similar competing products with 8000 Nm, the use of these belts is an important component of the Petlig method.^®.

Furthermore, we use the so-called [method/technique] during the operation. Inside-Out Method.

A significant advantage, especially for older animals with bilateral cruciate ligament tear is:

With our experienced team, we operate on both legs simultaneously, meaning the animal only experiences the anesthetic risk once, and the surgery duration is similar to a simple cruciate ligament repair, as two surgeons are working at the same time. In contrast, this condition would require two separate operations using the TPLO method, with eight weeks of recovery time between each. This doubles the anesthetic risk and reduces the chances of recovery for the operated leg, as it cannot bear full weight and receives no support from the unoperated leg.
