What Is Orthopedic Surgery for Pets?

Orthopedic surgery focuses on treating conditions affecting the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and spine. Common procedures include fracture repair, joint stabilization, and surgeries to address hip or elbow dysplasia. We do not perform TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) procedures at our clinic. These cases are referred to an orthopedic specialist. We are also limited in the types of CCL (Cranial Cruciate Ligament) procedures we offer, which are common and highly effective treatments for CCL injuries in dogs.

With advanced diagnostic tools and surgical techniques, our team provides safe, effective, and compassionate care — every step of the way, from diagnosis to recovery. As part of our comprehensive pain management approach, we also offer therapeutic laser therapy to reduce discomfort and support faster healing.

Does My Pet Need Orthopedic Surgery?

Orthopedic problems can affect pets of all ages and breeds. Your pet may benefit from orthopedic surgery if they show signs such as:

Limping or lameness
Difficulty standing, walking, or climbing stairs
Swelling in a limb or joint
Reluctance to play, run, or jump
Crying or reacting to touch near joints

Conditions like cruciate ligament tears, fractures, patellar luxation, and hip dysplasia are not only painful but can worsen over time without proper treatment. Our team will work with you to assess your pet’s condition and recommend the best course of action.
