What Is Pet Orthopedic Surgery?
Pet orthopedic surgery involves specialized procedures to treat conditions affecting bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These surgeries may include fracture repairs, cruciate ligament stabilization, and corrective procedures for joint disease. By addressing structural problems, orthopedic surgery helps pets walk, run, and play again without pain.
What to Expect During Orthopedic Surgery
If your pet requires orthopedic care, here’s what you can expect at Whitehouse Veterinary Hospital:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Pre-surgical exam, X-rays, and diagnostic testing to determine the best surgical plan
- Pre-Anesthetic Safety Measures: Bloodwork and monitoring protocols to ensure safety before anesthesia
- Advanced Surgical Techniques: Procedures such as fracture repair, cruciate ligament surgery, or TPLO performed with precision
- Pain Management: Tailored protocols including medication and supportive therapies for comfort
- Post-Surgical Recovery Guidance: Clear instructions, rehabilitation exercises, and follow-up exams to track healing
Our team works closely with pet owners to ensure both the procedure and recovery process are as smooth as possible. We are dedicated to restoring mobility and improving quality of life with safe, compassionate surgical care.
Why Orthopedic Surgery Matters
Bone and joint conditions can cause chronic pain, limit activity, and reduce a pet’s overall quality of life. Without treatment, these problems often worsen, leading to permanent disability. Orthopedic surgery is important because it:
- Restores mobility and independence
- Reduces pain caused by injury or degenerative disease
- Prevents long-term complications from untreated fractures or ligament tears
- Helps pets return to an active, healthy lifestyle
Addressing orthopedic concerns promptly allows pets to live comfortably and remain active companions for years to come.
Benefits of Orthopedic Procedures:
- Relief from chronic pain and lameness
- Restored ability to walk, run, and play
- Reduced risk of arthritis and joint deterioration
- Improved quality of life and longevity
