When you read online you have 50% of people say it is a bad idea, it doesnt work and they can be in more pain/ and 50% say its the only option and to do it.

'Thought he might have a partial tear'? I would get an MRI done first to get a solid conclusion on type of injury. My dog has twisted her ankle on a couple of occasions. The first time, she ended up in a hard cast for a while. She ended up fine afterwards. My in-laws have had there 11 year old dog receive an ACL repair plus a hip replacement at the same time for around $7k. As far as the ACL is concerned, she seems to have turned out fine for an older dog. She's getting around really well after several months of healing from the surgeries.
