Pet Orthopedic Surgery
At Roland Veterinary Clinic, we specialize in orthopedic surgery to address a variety of musculoskeletal conditions in pets. Our experienced veterinarians are dedicated to providing high-quality care, utilizing advanced surgical techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for your furry companions.
Understanding Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgery focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Common orthopedic issues in pets include:
- Cruciate Ligament Injuries: Damage to the cranial cruciate ligament, often resulting in knee instability and pain
- Fractures: Broken bones due to trauma or injury that require surgical intervention to properly heal
- Joint Disorders: Conditions like hip dysplasia or elbow dysplasia that may necessitate surgical correction to relieve pain and restore function

Benefits of Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgery can significantly enhance your pet’s health and well-being. Some key benefits include:
- Pain Relief: Surgical intervention can alleviate chronic pain associated with orthopedic conditions, allowing your pet to move more comfortably.
- Restored Functionality: Procedures can restore mobility, enabling your pet to return to their normal activities and improve their overall quality of life.
- Preventative Care: Addressing orthopedic issues early can prevent further complications and ensure long-term health.
The Orthopedic Surgery Process
Our team at Roland Veterinary Clinic is committed to providing a thorough and compassionate approach to orthopedic surgery. The process typically involves:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We conduct a detailed examination and diagnostic imaging (such as X-rays) to assess your pet’s condition and determine the best surgical approach.
- Surgical Procedure: Our veterinarians perform the surgery using advanced techniques and equipment, prioritizing your pet’s safety and comfort throughout the procedure.
- Post-Operative Care: After surgery, we provide detailed instructions for care and rehabilitation, including pain management, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments to monitor your pet’s recovery.
Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is a crucial part of the recovery process. Our team may recommend:
- Physical Therapy: Tailored exercises and therapies to enhance mobility and strength in the affected area
- Weight Management: A balanced diet and exercise plan to support recovery and prevent excess strain on healing joints
