A local vet has recently completed his 21st tibial tuberosity advancement surgery.
Dr David Barrowman completed the milestone surgery last week.
He says it is great this high-tech surgery is happening in "little ol' Rotorua".
"From our perspective it's cool Rotorua is doing very high tech orthopedic surgery on dogs which is certainly not done everywhere."
The surgery helps to get a very lame dog back to being mobile, and this particular surgery helps get them back quickly, he says.
