What Is Orthopedic Surgery?

Orthopedic surgery focuses on the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. One of the most common orthopedic injuries we see in dogs is a cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tear, a hindlimb injury that can cause pain, instability, and difficulty walking.
We offer advanced surgical repair options to help our canine patients return to function, including the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) procedure. TPLO is a highly effective treatment for CCL tears and is not offered at all veterinary hospitals, making it an important service we are proud to provide.

In addition to CCL injuries, common conditions we treat include:

  • Fractures and broken bones

  • Hip dysplasia

  • Luxating patella (dislocated kneecap)

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Joint instability or trauma

Our veterinarians use precise surgical techniques and advanced imaging to ensure an accurate diagnosis and the best possible outcome for your pet.

Personalized Care from Diagnosis to Recovery

Every orthopedic case begins with a thorough exam and diagnostic imaging—often including X-rays. We develop a customized surgical plan and provide post-operative pain management, physical rehabilitation guidance, and follow-up care to ensure a smooth recovery.

Because orthopedic surgery can be a major decision, our team takes time to educate you about your pet’s condition and answer all your questions. We’re with you every step of the way.
