Orthopedic Surgeries Offered

• Cruciate Ligament Repair: One of the most common injuries in dogs involves the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), which is analogous to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in humans. A torn CCL can cause significant pain and immobility. Our surgeons are skilled in several techniques for CCL repair, including the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) and the Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA). These advanced procedures aim to stabilize the knee and restore function, allowing your pet to return to an active, happy life.
• Fracture Repair: Accidents happen, and when they result in broken bones, it's crucial to provide the right care to ensure proper healing. Our surgeons utilize a variety of fixation methods, including plates, screws, and pins, tailored to the specific type and location of the fracture. These techniques not only stabilize the broken bones but also promote faster and more effective healing.
• Hip Dysplasia Surgery: Hip dysplasia is a genetic condition common in certain dog breeds, characterized by a malformation of the hip joint. This can lead to arthritis and significant discomfort. We offer surgical solutions such as total hip replacement (THR) and femoral head osteotomy (FHO), depending on the severity of the condition and the specific needs of your pet. These procedures can dramatically improve your pet’s quality of life by reducing pain and improving mobility.
• Patellar Luxation Repair: Patellar luxation, or a dislocated kneecap, is a condition that can affect dogs of all sizes and breeds. It can lead to discomfort, irregular gait, and arthritis if left untreated. Our surgical team is experienced in performing patellar luxation repair, a procedure that realigns the kneecap, ensuring it moves properly within its natural groove. This surgery not only alleviates pain but also prevents further joint damage.
