Had it done on a year old Jip who took a pounding. They cut the F-Head off, wrapped the tendon around the bone, secured it somehow and sewed her back together. The end result is a dog who can still hunt but does not have the stamina she used to. About 2 hours is her max now. After that, she is slow and obviously in discomfort.
If I had to do it again, I would not do the surgery on a cur dog. If your talking about a catch dog, who does not have to run much, I think that I would get the surgery.
