Preface
The American College of Veterinary Surgeons Foundation is excited to present Complications in Cranial Cruciate Ligament Surgery in the book series entitled Advances in Veterinary Surgery. Cranial cruciate ligament repair is likely the most common orthopedic surgery performed on dogs and a book dedicated to the complications of the procedures we use is appropriate. My sage mentors taught me that complications are an unfortunate part of surgery and our duty is to own them, manage them to get the best possible outcome for our patients, and learn from them to minimize the chance of future complications. As one of the key missions of the ACVS Foundation is to promote cutting‐edge education for diplomates, this topic is timely and very reflective of the educational mission of the Foundation.
Complications in Cranial Cruciate Ligament Surgery is edited by Drs Ron Ben‐Amotz and David L. Dycus. I'd like to congratulate and thank them for taking on this project. They have chosen a group of strong contributing authors to detail the identification, management, and prevention of complications in cranial cruciate surgery. We are sure you will find this reference extremely valuable.
The ACVS Foundation is an independently chartered philanthropic organization devoted to advancing the educational, scientific, and charitable goals of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. The mission of the ACVS Foundation is to support the advancement of surgical care of all animals through funding of educational and research opportunities for veterinary surgical residents and board‐certified veterinary surgeons.
The ACVS Foundation's collaboration with Wiley Blackwell benefits all those who are interested in veterinary surgery by presenting the latest evidence‐based information on relevant surgical topics. The ACVS Foundation is proud to partner with Wiley Blackwell in this important series and is honored to present this newest book in the Advances in Veterinary Surgery series.
