Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedic surgery services concern specialized surgical interventions for accidental, genetical disease related musculoskeletal issues in animals. Pet owners consult with our orthopedic export doctors to discuss concerns and undergo a thorough examination for diagnosis. Diagnostic imaging tools like X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs aid in assessing the nature and extent of musculoskeletal problems.

Procedures include fracture repair, utilizing techniques like internal fixation or external fixation devices for stabilization. Joint surgeries, such as arthroscopy or joint replacement, address conditions like osteoarthritis or hip dysplasia. Ligament and tendon repair surgeries restore stability and prevent further injury. Corrective osteotomy may be performed to address skeletal deformities or malalignments, restoring normal limb function.

Orthopedic surgery is employed for bone tumor removal, involving excision and potentially reconstructive procedures to maintain limb functionality. In cases of hip dysplasia, surgeries like femoral head and neck excision or hip replacement may be recommended. Spinal surgeries address issues like intervertebral disc disease or spinal deformities, aiming to relieve spinal cord compression.

Post-surgery, rehabilitation services, including physical therapy and exercise programs, may be recommended to support the pet’s recovery. The ultimate goal is to alleviate pain, restore function, and enhance the overall quality of life for pets with musculoskeletal issues, with pet owners actively involved in determining the most suitable treatment plan.
