Orthopaedic surgeries for pets

Orthopaedic surgery encompasses any surgery that is related to bones or joints. It can include any of the following procedures:

• Cranial cruciate ligament repair – deangelis suture and triple tibial osteotomy
• Fracture (broken bone) repair – intramedullary pin; cerclage wire; lag screw; orthopaedic plate
• Bone biopsy
• Amputations for severe injuries or bone cancer cases
• Luxating Patella surgery
• Deangelis technique
• Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO)

Orthopedic surgeries are amongst high-skill demand and complicated surgeries in veterinary practice.

We collaborate with a team of specialist surgeons to perform complicated surgeries for your furry friends in our hospital.
Orthopedic surgery requires a lengthy recovery and rehabilitation period following surgery. A dog that has undergone orthopedic surgery will require at least two weeks of exercise restrictions. The canine will not be allowed to walk around or engage in any other types of physical activity, which requires constant monitoring from the pet owner. After the initial two weeks, activity limitation will continue for four months after that and physical therapy may be recommended for the canine.
