A Dog Knee Brace Comparitive Analysis

Dog Knee Brace Comparison Solutions Between Soft and Custom Dog CCL Braces

Read What You Need To Know About A Dog CCL Brace. Learn The Facts – Before You Get One For Your Injured Dog.

Just like us in 2013, we never thought we’d have to learn about Dog knee braces. When our Beloved Golden Pasha had a serious CCL injury, our vet (we’ll call her “dr. Whitecoat”) insisted only that we get the $5,000 TPLO surgery in 3 days, and said nothing about Dog knee braces. Too late. We had already found out about them online. We believe that anyone who is learning about a Dog CCL brace is wayyyyy ahead of the hundreds of thousands of people who unwittingly trust the “dr. Whitecoats,” and dreadfully get the surgery (which is at least 3 – 6 times more expensive, and lucrative for a vet clinic than a custom made Dog knee brace).

What It’s All About: Suppressing The “Tibial Thrust.”The cranial cruciate ligament a/k/a CrCL or CCL is one of the ligaments between the thigh bone (femur) and the shin bone “tibia.” it helps stabilize the knee. In people, a similar ligament is the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament). Many vets call it an ACL injury since ACL injury in athletes is a common injury that most people are familiar with. The CCL helps holds the tibia in the correct alignment with the femur. When it is partially or completely ruptured, it becomes a serious orthopedic problem. Ligaments do not grow back. When the knee bends, the tibia is loose and slides forward away from the femur. Now the stifle alignment is off and no longer bio-mechanically correct. This very painful condition is known as “tibial thrust.” think of a wheel on a bicycle having a slight bend in it – it no longer functions correctly or rolls smoothly.

Did you know that: surgery and a good quality custom knee brace for Dogs BOTH accomplish the same goal: they both suppress, or stop, the tibial thrust, which must happen so that the knee (stifle in dogs) can start to develop fibrous scar tissue and re-stabilize the knee and stop the tibial thrust.

So What Does A Custom Dog Knee Brace Do For A Dog A Torn CCL?

A custom Dog CCL brace is a comfortable, custom-molded, adjustable Dog brace that stabilizes your Dogs’ injured knee as it naturally builds restorative scar tissue, as surgery does. By effectively stabilizing the stifle, a custom Dog leg brace provides a therapeutic alternative to TPLO, TTA, and other Dog knee ligament surgeries, without the numerous risks and higher costs involved with surgery.

Let’s Take A Look At The Difference Between Dog Knee Braces.

Types Of Dog Knee Braces For Cruciate Injuries:
Non-Custom “Ready To Wear,” And Custom Made.

Buying a non-custom Dog knee brace will not really save you money. Often, our customers had bought a non-custom brace and then had to get a custom Dog brace, to really help their Dog recover from this serious orthopedic injury. If you can afford it – get a custom Dog brace. You’ll get real results and your Dog will recover without surgery. You’ll be glad you did – and so will your Dog!

What’s Going On? Why So Many Dog CCL Surgeries??

Human orthopedic MD’s almost always first put a brace on their patients with CCL injuries. That is why there are hundreds of human knee braces ranging in price from $300 to $3,000 (for a custom brace). We’re not here to annoy anyone, but we need to illuminate certain facts. In 2013, a customer of ours who is a lawyer, whose Dog healed with a Posh brace, may have answered the foregoing question.

Why do veterinarian surgeons seldom mention putting a brace on a Dog with a very similar knee injury as a person? Why do they almost always recommend TPLO and other lucrative ($2 billion annually) surgeries?

Human Orthopedic ​Surgeons Always Do: 

1. Bracing First.
2. Conservative Management Of the Patient.
3. Surgical Intervention Only As A Last Resort. If #1 And #2 Fail.

Is The Solution Below ??

Imagine If Human Doctors Could Get Away With This:

 A Custom Posh Dog Knee Brace Can Do All This For Your Dog:

ALLOWS AN IMMEDIATE HEALING PROCESS FOR THE
INJURED LEG AND HELPS PREVENT A BILATERAL INJURY

Unlike surgery, our brace for CCL tears in Dogs immediately helps your Dogs recovery, not after months of painful and problematic recovery from surgery. After surgery, a Dog will bear most of its’ weight on the uninjured leg, greatly increasing the stress on that leg and the risk of an eventual CCL rupture of the uninjured leg. Vets have told us what we long suspected: that CCL surgery, in many cases, may actually cause a bilateral injury. A disproportionate weight load upon your Dogs hind legs for an extended period may also cause other problems for your Dog.

ALLOWS TIME TO EVALUATE WHETHER SURGERY IS EVEN NECESSARY. 
​SURGERY IS NOT REVERSIBLE. YOU CAN ALWAYS GET SURGERY LATER.

Since a Posh Dog Knee Brace accomplishes the same end goal of allowing the affected region to begin to heal naturally, this raises a critical question: why should your Dog be subjected to TPLO surgery and other canine knee surgery, when it may not even be necessary? Why not benefit from the conservative management option of no surgery, and managing the activity of your Dog for months, which you must do even with surgery? With our CCL stifle brace, your Dog begins to recover right away, not after months of painful post-surgery recovery, and with none of the surgical complications.

HELP PREVENTS RISK OF POSTOPERATIVE RE-INJURY. BILATERAL INJURIES 
​CAUSED BY THE 1ST SURGERY, (NOT BRACES), ARE EXTREMELY COMMON.

If you elect to have canine CCL surgery, the advanced stability provided by a Posh Dog Knee Brace is a form of an “insurance policy” for your Dogs’ recovery, to help prevent post-operative re-injury of the leg. After a CCL Surgery, there exists a substantial occurrence of a CCL tear in the uninjured other rear leg. Unfortunately, this dreadful occurrence of a bilateral injury happens more frequently than you may think. After surgery, the “parents” of the Dog must be very careful to restrain it from running, jumping, playing, etc for several months. A Posh Dog Knee Brace helps the CCL stifle injury heal and greatly reduces the risk of post-operative re-injury.
