Need advice about leg surgeries

I was wondering if anyone out there has had this combination of surgeries for their dog? My girl has had both leg surgeries on the same leg. First was the tibial tuberoisity and then 2 years later came the tibial plato leveling osteotomy. I know there are only a few dogs that have ever had this combination of surgeries on the same leg, in fact the surgeon is not sure if she may be the only one. She has some lameness in the leg and requires permanent use of antiinflamatory drugs. I have noticed lately that she is favoring that leg more than in the past. I was just hoping for some advice from someone in the same situation.

No experience with it, but I would find a great ortho and have a long discussion. My Shadow had an FHO and THR. He's been doing great for 6 years now.
