Orthopedic Pet Surgery

Cruciate, patella luxation, and hip surgery

At Veterinary Medical Center, we offer a wide range of orthopedic surgical services to help your pets regain mobility and improve their quality of life. Orthopedic surgery encompasses various procedures designed to treat bone and joint issues, ranging from fractures to congenital defects.

Among our specialized services, we perform the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO), a surgical procedure that effectively addresses torn cranial cruciate ligaments (CCL) in dogs. This procedure stabilizes the knee joint, allowing for a smoother recovery and return to activity.

We also provide Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgery, which involves removing the head and neck of the femur to alleviate hip pain and enhance mobility in both dogs and cats. This option is particularly beneficial for pets suffering from severe hip joint issues.

Our orthopedic surgery offerings also include treatments for conditions such as:

Amputation
Fractured Bones
Bone Plating
CCL Repair
Hip Replacements
Joint Surgery
Patella Luxation Repair
Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA)

Post-surgery, pets will require at least two weeks of restricted exercise and careful monitoring. Recovery times can vary, and we may recommend canine rehabilitation based on your pet's progress.
