DeAngelis Surgery for Cats & Dogs
DeAngelis Surgery is a surgical option designed to address torn cranial cruciate ligaments in cats and dogs. This procedure is typically recommended for pets suffering from pain, limping, or lameness caused by a CCL injury. It boasts a high success rate, with many pets returning to their usual activities within weeks post-operation, though it’s crucial to acknowledge that substantial aftercare and rehabilitation will be necessary for optimal recovery.
At Plus One Vet, our dedicated team will conduct a thorough examination to accurately determine if your pet has sustained a CCL tear. Should a tear be confirmed, we will guide you through the available treatment options, including the DeAngelis Surgery.

DeAngelis cruciate repair
DeAngelis cruciate repair is a surgical technique aimed at reconstructing the torn cranial cruciate ligament in both cats and dogs. This procedure involves excising the damaged ligament and reinforcing it with durable sutures, while also addressing any additional supportive structures like the meniscus or joint capsule. By undergoing this surgery, pets can experience decreased pain, enhanced stability, and improved range of motion in the affected limb. The recovery process for DeAngelis surgery generally spans 6 to 8 weeks, although it may differ based on the individual pet’s situation. During recovery, pets are often required to wear a brace or splint for better mobility and may participate in physical therapy sessions.
The costs associated with DeAngelis surgery vary according to the specific needs and conditions of the pet, so it is essential to reach out to our team for detailed information regarding pricing before making any decisions.
