We perform a few orthopedic (bone) surgeries in our clinic. Because we want to ensure that our patients receive the best possible outcome, we occasionally refer them to board-certified orthopedic surgeons to perform very complex surgeries.
Leg fractures are the most common orthopedic problem presented at our clinic and usually result from a mishap with an automobile. They can be treated in a variety of ways depending on the location and type of fracture. We can apply a cast to treat certain fractures; however, many fractures will require surgical intervention such as pinning. We do refer out patients that require a more complex fracture repair such as plating or external fixation.
We also perform orthopedic surgeries related to hip dysplasia. Please contact us if you have any questions about these procedures or if you think your pet might benefit from them.
