Restoring Strength and Stability
Fractures, whether caused by accidents, falls, or underlying conditions, can be a painful and debilitating experience for your pet. Our orthopaedic specialists are experts in diagnosing and treating fractures of all types, from simple breaks to complex comminuted fractures. Here's what you can expect when your pet requires fracture repair
Accurate Diagnosis
Utilizing advanced imaging techniques like X-rays and CT scans, our veterinarians will precisely locate and evaluate the fracture to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Minimally Invasive Techniques
Whenever possible, we prioritize minimally invasive surgical techniques for fracture repair. To smaller incisions, quicker recovery times, and less pain for your pet.
Advanced Methods
Depending on the location and severity of the fracture, we utilize various internal fixation techniques like plates, screws, and pins to ensure proper bone alignment and healing.
Post-Operative Care
Our dedicated team will provide comprehensive post-operative care, including pain management, physical therapy, and rehabilitation to promote optimal healing and a full recovery of your pet's mobility.
Ligament Surgery
Ligaments play a crucial role in connecting bones and providing joint stability. When ligaments tear, particularly the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) in the knee, it can cause significant pain and lameness. Our orthopaedic specialists offer advanced surgical techniques to address ligament injuries in pets.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Similar to fracture repair, we prioritize minimally invasive techniques for ligament surgeries whenever possible. This reduces surgical trauma and promotes faster recovery.
Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO)
This is a commonly performed surgical procedure for CCL tears in dogs. It involves cutting the tibia (shinbone) and rotating it to create a more stable angle for the knee joint, alleviating pressure on the CCL.
Other Ligament Repair Techniques
Our surgeons are skilled in various other ligament repair techniques depending on the specific location and severity of the injury.
