The following are some of the most common orthopedic surgeries we offer:

Fracture Repair: Accidents are an unfortunate reality in life, often involving bone fractures. If your furry companion has a simple fracture, an external splint or cast will help promote healing. In more severe or complex fractures, surgery may be the only option to restore your pet’s health and mobility. That may include using pins, bone plates, or screws to align fractured bones and stabilize them. The goal is to promote healing and restore normal function.

Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO): TPLO is a procedure designed to repair and stabilize the stifle joint when the cranial cruciate ligament, similar to the ACL in humans, is ruptured. It involves rotating the shin bone to change the angle of the joint, which helps stabilize the knee, improve mobility, and enhance your pet’s quality of life.

Luxating Patella Surgery: A luxating patella is a dislocated kneecap most commonly seen in smaller breed dogs. It typically occurs when the patellar displaces from position, interfering with mobility. There are many ways to treat a luxating patella, from a knee brace to a patellar wedge resection, which involves repositioning your furry friend’s kneecap or tightening the ligaments that hold it in place. Our experienced surgeons will determine the best approach to restore the joint’s normal function.

Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO): The surgical procedure is designed to treat certain hip conditions, including chronic arthritis, severe hip joint trauma, or hip dysplasia. It involves removing the head and neck of the femur, which helps eliminate bone-on-bone contact, restoring joint mobility and providing lasting relief. It is typically recommended for cats, smaller dogs, or larger pets with a healthy weight. Otherwise, a total hip replacement may be the only option.
