ohh god no... mine wasn't done that way.. there are 2 ways to do it.. one way is they cut out the old ligaments and drill holes in the bone and run basically thick fishing line replacing the ACL.. in time scar tissue grows over it and it's strong...
The second way (which i had forgotten bout) is CRAZY hard on the dog and is not fixable if something goes wrong... if the first method goes bad they can just do it again....
