Orthopaedic Surgery
Orthopaedics are our passion and we have invested in the latest equipment and implants to provide a wide range of treatment options for your patients.
Fracture Repair
Plates, ESF, pins and screws
Fractures come in all shapes and sizes but we have the expertise and equipment to tackle the worst of them. We can choose the most appropriate method of fixation to fit your clients budget. We carry a full range of AO locking and DCP kits, External Skeletal Fixation kits alongside pins, wires and rods.
Cruciate Ligament Repair
TPLO, CCWO and LFS
Cranial Cruciate Ligament disease is one of the most common causes of hindlimb lameness. We offer a full range of surgical treatment options to suit every patient and budget. We can perform TPLO in any size of dog and we offer CCWO for cases where this is indicated. For more cost-concious clients we can perform a lateral suture on smaller breeds of dogs.
Patellar Luxation
Patellar luxation is a common clinical finding but where it causes lameness, we can intervene. In addition to standard techniques, we offer Distal Femoral Osteotomies for correction of severe luxations with femoral deformity.
Arthrodesis
We can perform partial or full arthrodesis of the carpus and tarsus. These techniques fuse the joints and are suitable for severe fractures, luxations or damage to the supporting soft tissues of these joints.
Angular Limb Deformity
Whether due to growth plate abnormalities or fracture malunions we can evaluate and correct angular limb deformities. We can use CT scanning to create custom 3D guides to ensure cutting and fixation of the affected bones.
