How to compare estimates
Compare like-for-like scope: diagnostics, procedure, anesthesia, hospitalization, medication and follow-up. TPLO involves cutting and rotating the upper tibia and stabilizing it with a plate and screws. It is therefore not interchangeable with every other cruciate procedure.
