Yes. My 100lb golden doodle had TPLO surgery a year ago. (Pics)

Everything went well. It was crazy expensive. Dog recovered just fine. Had to give him meds to calm him so he would lay around all day and not try to jump up on the bed or couch for a while. Dr said it's a high likelihood that he blows out the other one at some point. (My wife said there's no way we're spending another $6000 on surgery for that dog. Lol)

Got it back in 2018. Good results. It's a bit on the costly side ($3000).
