To the non-expert that makes it sound like one leg's longer than the other or else that it's bum's sticking up in the air, :). I guess in-soles aren't an option for masitfs, :).

The problem is the head of the tibia (shin-bone in hind leg) is at a slightly strange angle with respect to the femur (thigh-bone), so too much strain is put on the cruciate ligaments (two ligaments which make an X-shape and hold the two bones together in the knee), so they tend to tear. The operation is meant to correct this. In theory. In practice, it seems an excuse to use many power-tools :)
