We perform certain types of orthopaedic (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 orthopaedic surgeons to perform back surgery and other very complex surgeries.
ACL/CCL tears are the most common orthopaedic problem presented at our clinic and usually result from trauma to the stifle/knee. They can be treated in a variety of ways depending on your pet’s breed, weight and disposition. A discussion with one of our veterinarians will dictate whether your pet is a candidate for cruciate repair in our hospital or as a referral. The current method of repair for most dogs in our clinic is extracapsular.
Please contact us if you have any questions about these procedures or if you think your pet might benefit from them.
