What is Pet Orthopedic Surgery?
Pet orthopedic surgery is a specialized branch of veterinary medicine focused on diagnosing and treating injuries and conditions affecting pets’ bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments. Whether your pet has suffered a traumatic injury, is experiencing joint pain or stiffness, or has a congenital orthopedic condition, our experienced veterinary team is here to help.
How Pet Orthopedic Surgery Can Help Your Pet
Pet orthopedic surgery can relieve pain and discomfort, improve mobility and quality of life, and prevent further damage to the musculoskeletal system. Some common reasons for pet orthopedic surgery include:
- Fractures: Surgical repair of broken bones can promote proper healing and restore function.
- Orthopedic Conditions: Treatment of congenital or degenerative conditions such as hip dysplasia, luxating patellas, and intervertebral disc disease.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Repair torn ligaments (such as the cruciate ligament in the knee) or tendons to restore stability and function.
- Joint Disorders: Surgical management of joint diseases such as osteoarthritis or instability.
- Tumor Removal: Surgical removal of orthopedic tumors or masses to alleviate pain and prevent spread.

What Is TPLO Surgery?
TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) is a specialized orthopedic procedure designed to stabilize the knee joint after a CCL (Cranial Cruciate Ligament) rupture—one of the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs. The CCL functions similarly to the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) in humans, helping to stabilize the knee. By changing the angle of the tibial plateau, TPLO surgery allows your dog to bear weight more comfortably and regain normal mobility faster than with traditional repair methods.
Is TPLO Right for Your Dog?
TPLO surgery is often recommended for medium to large breed dogs with an active lifestyle, but we offer personalized evaluations to determine the best treatment plan for your pet.
If your dog is limping, avoiding stairs, or showing signs of hind leg discomfort, they may be suffering from a CCL injury. Don’t wait! Early intervention leads to better outcomes.
