We had to get 2 TPLOs done to our Golden Retriever/Samoyed mix when he was between 1 1/2 and 2 years old. Although they were expensive procedures the fact that the TPLO was a permanent solution rather than just repairing the tear was preferable to us because he was so active. Now the big guy is 10 and as active as ever and shows no sign of pain!
If you opt for the TPLO be warned that to recovery time is long and in the beginning the dog will be in a good amount of pain.
Good luck with whatever you decide and I hope she feels better soon!
