Your Pet's Health is Our Priority!

 Orthopedic surgery is essential for animals suffering from joint problems, torn ligaments, broken bones, and even congenital issues. A significant focus of orthopedic surgery is the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), also known as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). These surgeries can help improve mobility, alleviate pain, and restore your pet’s quality of life, particularly in cases involving ligament injuries or skeletal abnormalities.

 Always keep an eye on how your pet moves—if they seem to be moving differently than usual, it could be a sign of an orthopedic condition. Common symptoms include difficulty getting up, favoring a leg while walking, limping with swelling, stiffness, and a decreased activity level.

If you notice any of these signs in your pet, please don’t hesitate to call us! We’re here to help assess their condition and provide the care they need.

 The most common orthopedic surgeries performed on dogs and cats include fracture fixations and cruciate ligament repairs, often through a procedure known as Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO). Other orthopedic surgeries we perform are Medial Patella Luxation (MPL) correction and Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgery. These surgeries can help restore mobility, relieve pain, and improve your pet’s quality of life following injuries or congenital conditions.

 The goal of fracture fixation is to stabilize the fractured bone, promoting faster healing and allowing for early mobility and full function of the injured extremity. Fractures can be treated conservatively or with external and internal fixation methods, depending on the severity and location of the injury. These approaches help ensure the bone heals correctly, minimizing long-term complications and helping your pet get back to their active life as soon as possible.

 Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) is a surgical procedure designed to repair a cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture in dogs, which is similar to an ACL tear in humans. A CCL rupture can occur suddenly due to trauma or strenuous activity, or it can develop gradually over time as the ligament deteriorates, potentially affecting both knees. If your pet has a CCL tear, the limp is typically quite severe, and they may experience pain, swelling, and difficulty moving. TPLO surgery helps stabilize the knee and restore function, allowing for a quicker recovery and improved mobility.

 • Extracapsular Stabilization

• MPL (Medial Patella Luxation) Correction

• FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) Surgery

These procedures can greatly improve your pet’s quality of life by addressing painful orthopedic conditions and enhancing their mobility.
