Orthopedic Pet Surgery
Cruciate, patella luxation, and hip surgery
Orthopedic surgery is just one of the many types of surgery offered at Germantown Animal Hospital. Rather than referring to a single surgery, orthopedic surgery is an umbrella term used to describe several bone and joint repair procedures.
Though orthopedic surgery is most commonly used to treat fractured bones, it can also be used to treat congenital defects such as elbow dysplasia and patellar luxation. Joint replacement, such as total knee replacement, is also considered an orthopedic surgery.
Conditions that can be treated with orthopedic surgery include:
- Amputation
- Fractured Bones
- Bone Plating
- Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) Repair
- Femoral Head and Neck Ostectomy (FHO)
- Hip Replacements
- Joint Surgery
- Patella Luxation Repair
- Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO)
- Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA)
At Germantown Animal Hospital, we are proud to offer specialized orthopedic surgery to help improve your pet's mobility and quality of life. Our experienced veterinary team is skilled in performing a range of procedures, including amputation for pets with severe limb injuries, CCL (cranial cruciate ligament) repair for knee stability, patella luxation repair to correct knee joint issues, and fracture repair for broken bones.
