[john walker's workshop]

$3200 for one side on my lab. cut the joint/reposition it and steel plate. he hasn't messed up the other one yet, in 4 years. i built a ramp so he wouldn't have to climb stairs in/out of the house. no running for a while, so you can't let him outside without a leash. good to go after a couple of months or so. never seemed to slow him down from the beginning. supposedly, they've found that a less invasive/cheaper method is just as good.
