At Karrinyup Small Animal Hospital, our staff are constantly expanding and developing their knowledge for your pet's treatment and care. Recently Dr Cindy Si, completed training for a new technique of Cruciate Ligament repair, called the Modified Maquet Procedure (MMP).
The MMP technique is based on an operation developed almost 50 years ago for use in humans by Dr Maquet. The operation redirects the force generated by the large quadriceps muscles to compensate for the failed Cruciate Ligament.
Numerous benefits of the MMP technique include,
Dr Cindy Si performed our first MMP surgery with the guidance of Dr Menzies in August 2015 on one of our patient's Bruce, the 53kg Staffy X. Bruce was using his leg the very next day after the surgery was performed, although he was limited to only short, frequent walks during his recovery period. We are very happy with Bruce’s recovery and he continues to make great progress each week.
If you'd like further information regarding the MMP surgery for your pet, contact our staff on 9447 4644, for an appointment with our veterinarians.

Numerous benefits of the MMP technique include,
- the ability to be performed on larger dogs, whereas previous techniques were limited to smaller dogs.
- The MMP surgery also has decreased pain during recovery, which means a shorter hospital stay, so your pets can come home sooner!
