TPLO (Cruciate Ligament) Surgery And General Orthopaedic Surgery

Orthopaedic conditions, particularly those affecting the knees, are common in pets and can significantly impact their quality of life. Issues such as joint instability, misalignment, or injury can cause pain, reduce mobility, and lead to long-term complications like arthritis if left untreated. Early intervention is crucial to preserve joint health and improve your pet’s comfort. We routinely perform cruciate ligament surgery and repair complex fractures.

Understanding Orthopaedic Conditions

Orthopaedic issues often manifest as lameness, limping, or difficulty performing everyday activities like climbing stairs, running, or standing. Pets may also exhibit swelling around the joint, stiffness, or reluctance to exercise. These signs indicate the need for a thorough orthopaedic evaluation to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Our Orthopaedic Services

At Rosebery Vet Hospital, we provide advanced orthopaedic surgical solutions for knee conditions:

  • Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO): This procedure addresses cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries by stabilizing the knee joint and restoring mobility. TPLO is considered the gold standard for treating CCL injuries in dogs, effectively reducing pain and preventing further joint degeneration.
  • Medial Patellar Luxation (MPL) Surgery: MPL occurs when the kneecap slips out of its normal position, causing discomfort and an abnormal gait. Surgery corrects the misalignment, improving joint stability and preventing future complications.
  • Complex fracture repairs – we are fully equipped to routinely perform complex fracture repairs at Rosebery Vet Hospital
