Orthopedic surgery plays a crucial role in restoring mobility and enhancing the quality of life for pets with joint, bone, or ligament injuries. At Plaza Animal Hospital, Dr. Ellis offers extensive expertise in a variety of advanced orthopedic procedures aimed at reducing pain, restoring function, and helping your pet move comfortably again.
Whether your pet is dealing with a cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tear, hip dysplasia, or a luxating patella, prompt surgical treatment can significantly improve their recovery, comfort, and long-term health.
Advanced Orthopedic Procedures
Dr. Ellis offers state-of-the-art surgical techniques to treat orthopedic conditions, including:
- Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) for CCL injuries
- Lateral Suture Stabilization (Extracapsular Repair)
- Fracture repair with plates, pins, or external fixators
- Medial Patellar Luxation (MPL) correction
- Meniscal (cartilage) repair
- FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy)
- TPO/DPO (Triple or Double Pelvic Osteotomy) for hip stabilization
Each procedure is paired with a tailored post-operative rehabilitation plan designed to maximize recovery, minimize pain, and ensure your pet receives the very best care at every stage. Most pets begin using their leg again within days, with full recovery in 8–12 weeks, depending on their condition.
