Precision Care to Help Your Pet Move Freely Again
At Westside Animal Hospital, we understand that joint problems and bone injuries can significantly impact your pet's quality of life. If your pet is experiencing pain, lameness, or difficulty moving, orthopedic surgery may be an option.
Our experienced veterinary team can provide orthopedic surgery services to address various conditions. Your veterinarian can help you determine if your pet will benefit from one of these common orthopedic procedures:
Fracture Repair
We use advanced methods to repair broken bones to enhance your pet’s mobility and recovery through surgical alignment and stabilization via internal fixation (plates, screws, pins) or external fixation (casts, splints), while aiming to restore bone integrity and promote healing.
Luxating Patella Repair
This procedure corrects dislocated kneecaps in dogs. It involves realigning and stabilizing the kneecap to prevent painful, recurrent dislocations.
TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy)
This surgery addresses cruciate ligament tears by cutting and rotating the tibia to stabilize the knee joint, and is recommended for dogs with severe tears not responding to conservative treatment.
We’re Here For You and Your Pets
To help make your pet’s procedure as stress-free as possible on both pet parents and patients, we’re here for you every step of the way with detailed before and after-care instructions. From a pre-surgical consultation to help determine the best course of action for your pet, to dedicated monitoring before, during, and after surgery, we’ll guide you and your pet through the process so you know what to expect.
