Orthopedic Pet Surgery in Cary
Surgical interventions for your pet’s bones and joints.
Advanced Treatment for Mobility Issues
Orthopedic surgery addresses issues related to your pet’s bones, joints, and ligaments, making it a specialized field that requires advanced training and experience. At Green Level Animal Hospital, we offer access to expert orthopedic surgery for cats and dogs in Cary, SC in need of these procedures. Our staff partners with a board-certified veterinary surgeon to provide the specialized treatment your pet needs in an environment they already know and trust.
What makes orthopedic pet surgery different?
Orthopedic pet surgery is distinctly different from other types of surgery, as it focuses specifically on conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, such as bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These procedures are often required to treat injuries or degenerative conditions that impact your pet’s mobility and quality of life. Common conditions that may require orthopedic surgery include ligament tears, hip dysplasia, and joint instability.
While soft-tissue surgeries address a wide range of internal health issues, orthopedic surgery for pets is a more specialized field that involves complex procedures to repair or reconstruct damaged structures. These surgeries require advanced expertise to restore your pet’s ability to move comfortably.
We partner with a board-certified veterinary surgeon.
To provide care for pets needing orthopedic surgery, we partner with an experienced, board-certified veterinary surgeon who specializes in these procedures. Our orthopedic pet surgeries are scheduled on specific days when the surgeon comes to our clinic, allowing us to offer expert care in a familiar environment.
This partnership ensures that your pet receives specialized attention from a surgeon with advanced training in orthopedic procedures without the need to travel to an unfamiliar facility. Before surgery, we will schedule a consultation appointment to assess your pet’s condition, discuss treatment options, and make sure surgery is the right choice for their specific needs.
These orthopedic surgeries are
performed for dogs and cats.
At Green Level Animal Hospital, we offer several common orthopedic surgeries, including:
- TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) A procedure often used to treat cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries, similar to ACL injuries in humans.
- FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) A procedure to address hip dysplasia or severe hip injuries by removing the head of the femur to relieve pain and improve mobility.
- TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement) Another surgery to repair cranial cruciate ligament injuries, aimed at stabilizing the knee joint.
- Patellar Luxation Repair A surgery to correct a dislocated kneecap, which is a common issue in certain dog breeds.
If your pet requires a specific orthopedic surgery, we encourage you to call us to find out if our partner surgeon performs that procedure. While we offer many common orthopedic surgeries, the surgeon does not perform emergency orthopedic procedures, such as fracture repairs.
