When Pets May Need Orthopedic Surgery

Pet orthopedic surgery can benefit animals suffering from various conditions affecting their musculoskeletal system. Common reasons for orthopedic surgery include:

Fractures and Trauma

 

Fractures caused by accidents or falls can require surgical intervention to realign bones and stabilize the affected area for proper healing.

 

Ligament Tears

 

Injuries like cruciate ligament tears are common in active dogs, particularly large breeds, and often require surgical repair to restore stability to the knee joint.

 

Joint Disorders

 

Conditions such as hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and arthritis can cause chronic pain and restrict movement. Surgical options can alleviate discomfort and improve function in many cases.

 

Congenital Conditions

 

Some pets are born with joint or bone deformities that impact their mobility. Surgery can help correct these issues, allowing pets to lead more comfortable, active lives.

 

Bone Tumors

 

In certain cases, pets may develop tumors in bones or joints, which may need surgical removal to prevent the spread of disease and relieve pain.

Our veterinary team at Mill Village Animal Hospital has specialized training in orthopedic procedures and a deep understanding of the musculoskeletal needs of pets. Our goal is to ensure that each pet receives personalized, effective care to support recovery and long-term mobility.

 

Orthopedic Diagnostics

An accurate diagnosis is essential in determining the best treatment plan for pets with orthopedic conditions. We use advanced imaging techniques, such as X-rays and other diagnostic tools, to thoroughly assess bone and joint health. This process helps our team identify the specific problem and develop an effective treatment strategy.

 

Surgical Interventions

 

Depending on your pet’s condition, we offer various orthopedic surgical options designed to restore mobility and relieve pain:

Fracture Repair

 

Using specialized implants, our team stabilizes fractures to promote proper bone healing and help pets regain strength.

 

Cruciate Ligament Repair

 

This common surgery for dogs with torn ligaments involves techniques such as TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) or TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement) to stabilize the knee joint and restore function.

 

Joint Surgery

 

Our team performs corrective surgeries for conditions like hip dysplasia, including femoral head osteotomy (FHO) and other techniques to improve joint stability.

 

Arthroscopy

 

A minimally invasive procedure, arthroscopy allows our team to diagnose and treat joint issues with less recovery time than traditional surgery.

 

Post-Surgical Care and Rehabilitation

Recovery from orthopedic surgery requires a thoughtful post-operative plan. At Mill Village Animal Hospital, we provide tailored post-surgical care instructions to help pets heal safely and effectively. Rehabilitation exercises, pain management, and follow-up exams are all part of the process to ensure a successful recovery.
