Orthopedic Pet Surgery

Improving congenital defects in pets

Orthopedic surgery is just one of the many types of surgery offered at Balboa Veterinary Hospital. Rather than referring to a single surgery, orthopedic surgery is an umbrella term used to describe several bone and joint repair procedures.

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)

Any pet that undergoes orthopedic surgery will require at least two weeks of restricted exercise and constant monitoring. It’s important to understand that almost all orthopedic surgeries come with a lengthy recovery time and, depending on how well your pet is doing towards the end of their recovery, we may recommend canine rehabilitation.
