Someone awhile ago posted that dogs sometimes get cancer years latter at the ACL repair spot. My Mastiff had a TPLO repair for his ACL using SS plates and screws. So I asked my vet (specialty in vet orthopedics) and he said several years ago they were using repair parts made of slightly different metal alloys and they could get a tiny tiny bit of current at the junction of slightly different allow metals.
My vet said the newer repairs are done using the exact same metal alloys and no longer have that issue.
The only issue now is affording the repair.
I thought I would update people here on BITOG who might be interested.
