Orthopedic Surgical Services We Provide
- TPLO Surgery: Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) is a procedure used to treat cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries in dogs.
- Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO): This surgery involves removing the head and neck of the femur to alleviate pain from hip dysplasia or severe fractures.
- Luxating Patella Repair: This procedure corrects the dislocation of the kneecap, a common issue in many dog breeds.
- Fracture Repair: We provide comprehensive fracture repair services to ensure proper healing and restore function to broken bones.
It’s not uncommon for dogs—especially older and overweight dogs—to rupture their cranial cruciate ligaments (CCL). These injuries are akin to ACL injuries in humans. When a dog ruptures this ligament, their knee joint becomes unstable, and they limp on the affected limb. Because CCL tears cause significant mobility issues for pets, treating these injuries as quickly as possible is essential.
A good post-operative rehabilitation program can be critical to a successful pet orthopedic surgery. At Britt Road Animal Hospital, we’ll provide detailed instructions and physical therapy exercises to promote healing and restore function as fast as possible. This comprehensive approach ensures that your pet recovers fully and regains optimal mobility.
