What exactly is orthopedic surgery?
Pet orthopaedic surgery is a specialized field of veterinary medicine that focuses on surgical procedures related to the musculoskeletal system of animals, particularly their bones and joints. This type of surgery is designed to address conditions and injuries that affect the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and other structures that support the body. Orthopaedic surgeries can vary widely in complexity, from straightforward fracture repairs to more intricate procedures like joint replacements. The goal is to improve your pet's quality of life, alleviate pain, and restore normal function to the affected musculoskeletal structures.
Common reasons for pet orthopedic surgery includes
Fractures Repairing broken bones caused by accidents, falls, or trauma. Joint Issues Addressing problems like luxating patella (dislocated kneecap) or ruptured cruciate ligaments, often seen in dogs. Congenital Defects Correcting bone or joint abnormalities that pets may be born with. Arthritis Management In some cases, surgery may be recommended to alleviate pain and improve mobility in pets with arthritis.
