Pet Orthopedic Surgery – Orange County

Once you bring your pet over to our Orange County Affordable Animal Hospital, one of our highly-experienced vets will do a thorough assessment of your pet’s health. At our animal hospital, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to veterinary care.

We will customize the treatment plan to suit your pet’s medical requirements and ensure they receive the best care possible. So, be sure to let the doctor know of any previous surgeries or medical conditions that your dog or cat has had. The type of surgeries we usually perform are:

• Surgical fracture repair: Fractures sometimes don't heal naturally. In such a case, we will surgically set your pet's fracture using metal screws, rods, plates, or pins.
• Bone and joint replacement: Age and overuse can damage a bone or a joint extensively, and there may be no way to save it. But the good thing is, these bones and joints can be replaced surgically using metal implants.
• CCL & TPLO: Cranial cruciate ligament surgery is designed to repair tears in the CCL. Sometimes, a simple suture cannot fix the tear. Your pet’s joints need to be stabilized as well. This is where we will perform the tibial plateau leveling osteotomy to fix your fur baby’s joints in place.
• Arthroscopy: What endoscopy is to the digestive tract, the arthroscopy is to the joints. Here, a small incision is made on the treatment area, and a probe-like device with an attached camera is sent inside. Small surgical instruments are used to surgically treat your pet through this incision.
