Orthopedic Surgery for Pets in McKinney, TX
When injury, joint disease, or mobility problems affect your pet’s daily life, we’re here to help. At Pet Method Animal Hospital, we partner with board-certified mobile surgeons to provide advanced orthopedic care—including TPLO, fracture repair, and luxating patella correction—right here in our McKinney clinic.
Advanced Orthopedic Care, Right When Your Dog Needs It
Orthopedic conditions can be painful, debilitating, and emotionally difficult for pets and their families. That’s why we offer expert surgical care in a familiar, calming setting—with pre- and post-operative support from our trusted in-house team. Whether your pet has suffered an injury or is struggling with a chronic joint issue, our goal is to restore mobility, relieve pain, and support long-term musculoskeletal health.
We treat a wide range of orthopedic issues in dogs, including cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears, luxating patellas, and bone fractures. Our mobile veterinary surgeons bring advanced equipment and specialized expertise to our McKinney animal hospital, so your pet can receive precise, high-quality care without needing a referral elsewhere.
TPLO Surgery for Dogs
Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) is the gold-standard treatment for dogs with torn cranial cruciate ligaments—the canine equivalent of an ACL tear. This common knee injury causes lameness, joint instability, and pain, particularly in active or large-breed dogs.
During TPLO surgery, the tibial plateau is surgically rotated to stabilize the knee joint without relying on the damaged ligament. This technique promotes faster healing and a better long-term outcome than traditional repairs. At Pet Method, we guide you through every step—from diagnosis and pre-op instructions to recovery and rehabilitation—to ensure a smooth and successful experience.
Luxating Patella Surgery (MPL Repair)
Medial patellar luxation (MPL), or dislocated kneecap, is a frequent cause of limping in small-breed dogs. Though less common, cats can also experience patellar luxation and may benefit from surgical correction. Left untreated, it can lead to pain, cartilage damage, and early-onset arthritis.
We offer surgical correction tailored to the severity of your dog’s condition. Most procedures involve deepening the groove where the kneecap sits, realigning the surrounding tissue, and stabilizing the joint to prevent future dislocation. Surgery can dramatically improve comfort and mobility—and give your pet the confidence to move freely again.
Dog Fracture Repair
Bone fractures from accidents, falls, or trauma often require surgical stabilization to ensure proper healing. Our veterinary surgeons assess the location and complexity of the break to determine the best repair technique—whether it’s external splinting, bone plates, pins, or screws.
By realigning the bones and providing internal support, we help your pet regain full function while minimizing pain and complications. Post-surgical recovery includes close follow-up, pain management, and physical activity guidance tailored to your pet’s needs.
Diagnostic imaging, like X-rays, plays a key role in evaluating fractures and monitoring healing—we offer these services in-house through our Veterinary Diagnostics & Radiology.
Gentle, Precise, and Trusted Orthopedic Care
At Pet Method Animal Hospital, we believe orthopedic surgery should be as compassionate as it is precise. Our fear-free philosophy, calming environment, and skilled veterinary team ensure that your pet feels safe and supported—before, during, and after surgery.
If your dog or cat is limping, reluctant to jump or play, or showing signs of joint pain, we’re here to help. From diagnosis to rehab, we offer comprehensive orthopedic care to get them moving comfortably again.
