Orthopedic Pet Surgery

Cruciate, patella luxation, and hip surgery

Orthopedic surgery is just one of the many types of surgery offered at Bridle Trail Veterinary Clinic. We work with a mobile orthopedic surgeon in the area to offer these surgeries for our patients.

Though orthopedic surgery is most commonly used to treat fractured bones, it can also be used to treat congenital defects such as elbow dysplasia and patellar luxation. Joint replacement, such as total knee replacement, is also considered an orthopedic surgery.

Conditions that can be treated with orthopedic surgery include:

Amputation
Fractured Bones
Bone Plating
Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) Repair
Femoral Head and Neck Ostectomy (FHO)
Hip Replacements
Joint Surgery
Patella Luxation Repair
Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO)
Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA)

Any pet that undergoes orthopedic surgery will require at least two weeks of restricted exercise and constant monitoring. It’s important to understand that almost all orthopedic surgeries come with a lengthy recovery time and, depending on how well your pet is doing towards the end of their recovery, we may recommend canine rehabilitation.
