With expertise in both orthopedic and general advanced surgical care, we help pets recover from injuries, improve mobility, and live healthier, more comfortable lives.
Why Orthopedic Surgery Matters for Pets
When a pet suffers from a torn ligament, a broken bone, or a degenerative joint issue, pain and limited mobility can significantly impact their quality of life. Surgical correction restores stability, relieves discomfort, and helps pets regain the ability to move freely and enjoy their favorite activities.
Procedures like TPLO surgery for dogs are designed to correct knee instability caused by cruciate ligament tears — one of the most common orthopedic conditions in dogs. Early intervention not only improves mobility but also reduces the risk of arthritis and future joint damage.
What isOrthopedic Pet Surgery?
Orthopedic pet surgery focuses on treating conditions affecting the bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These issues are especially common in active or aging pets and can result from trauma, genetic predisposition, or degenerative diseases like arthritis.
At Pet Medical Center of Boca Raton, our dog orthopedic surgeon provides tailored treatment plans based on your pet’s individual needs. Common orthopedic procedures include:
- TPLO surgery for dogs (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) for cruciate ligament injuries
- Fracture repair and bone plating
- Joint stabilization and reconstruction
- Correction of congenital deformities
Our approach emphasizes pain management, precision, and rehabilitation — ensuring your pet’s best possible recovery.
What to Expect During Orthopedic Surgery
Before any surgical procedure, your pet will undergo a thorough orthopedic examination and diagnostic imaging, including X-rays and, if necessary, advanced imaging such as ultrasound or CT scans. This helps us confirm the diagnosis and determine the most effective surgical approach.
During surgery, your pet’s vital signs are closely monitored by our trained medical team to ensure safety under anesthesia. Afterward, we provide detailed home care instructions, physical therapy recommendations, and follow-up appointments to support long-term healing and prevent complications.
Our experienced veterinarians perform a range of advanced bone and joint procedures using modern equipment and safe anesthesia protocols. Whether your pet is limping, favoring a leg, or suffering from chronic joint pain, our team delivers precise, professional care every step of the way.
