Nonetheless, geographical and /or economic constraints can limit the availability of these procedures for some pets. In this session, Dr. P will describe how you can select patients who are likely to benefit from extracapsular (ExCap) suture stabilization of the stifle and some important pre-, intra-, and post-operative nuances to maximize your chances of success.
