Orthopedic Surgery
Advanced Joint & Mobility Care for Dogs
Orthopedic conditions—especially those affecting the knees and hips—are among the most common causes of mobility issues in dogs. Active breeds and aging pets are particularly prone to these problems. One of the most frequently diagnosed injuries is a cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tear, similar to an ACL injury in humans. This condition can cause pain, joint instability, and lameness, often requiring orthopedic surgery for dogs to restore proper function and comfort.
TPLO Surgery for Cruciate Ligament Injuries
The Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) is widely considered the gold standard for treating cruciate ligament injuries in dogs. This advanced veterinary orthopedic procedure works by altering the biomechanics of the knee joint, stabilizing it without replacing the damaged ligament.
Benefits of TPLO surgery include:
- High success rate in restoring mobility
- Improved joint stability and function
- Reduced risk of long-term arthritis
- Faster return to normal activity with proper rehabilitation
With appropriate post-operative care, many dogs regain excellent mobility and quality of life.
Specialized Orthopedic Surgical Care
To ensure the highest level of care, we partner with board-certified veterinary orthopedic surgeons who perform advanced procedures directly at our hospital. Services include:
- TPLO surgery for ligament injuries
- Fracture repair and bone stabilization
- Complex orthopedic procedures for joint and mobility issues
These surgeries are typically outpatient procedures, allowing your pet to return home the same day while receiving continued monitoring and follow-up care from our in-house team.
Affordable & Accessible Treatment Options
We understand that advanced orthopedic surgery for pets can be a significant investment. Procedures such as TPLO are typically more affordable at our clinic—often 25–50% less than specialty or emergency hospitals—while maintaining the same high standard of care and expertise.
For pet owners needing financial flexibility, we accept CareCredit and major credit cards to help make treatment more accessible.
Alternative Care & Pain Management
If surgery is not the right option for your pet, we are committed to providing alternative solutions. Our team will work with you to develop a pain management and mobility support plan, which may include medications, lifestyle adjustments, and supportive therapies to improve your pet’s comfort.
Schedule an Orthopedic Evaluation
If your pet is showing signs such as limping, stiffness, difficulty rising, or reduced activity, it’s important to seek veterinary care. Early evaluation allows us to diagnose the issue and recommend the most effective treatment for joint problems in dogs.
