Our hospital offers a variety of orthopedic surgery services to cope with a wide range of injuries and conditions. In the case of a broken leg, for example, our surgeons can perform such procedures as bone plating, pinning and/or wiring to successfully mend the fractured bones. On the other hand, if your pet experiences a knee ligament injury, procedures such as a TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) or extracapsular repair may be recommended. Dislocated knee caps may sometimes require surgery to minimize pain and improve your pet's quality of life. If there is a problem inside a joint, surgeons may recommend minimally invasive arthroscopy to remove the source of your pet's pain. In any case, be assured that our orthopedic surgical team will do their best to achieve the best outcome possible for your pet.
Please call us at (509) 467-5230 for a consultation or more information about our hospital's comprehensive orthopedic services.
A torn cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) is one of the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs, causing pain and difficulty walking. Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery is a highly effective procedure designed to stabilize the knee and restore mobility.
At VCA North Division, our skilled veterinary surgeon, Dr. Joe Peterson, performs TPLO surgery using advanced techniques to ensure the best possible outcome for your pet. This procedure involves reshaping the tibia to eliminate the need for the damaged ligament, allowing dogs to regain stability and move comfortably again.
Recovery from TPLO surgery requires careful post-operative care, including controlled exercise and rehabilitation to promote healing. Our team is here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring your dog recovers safely and returns to an active pain-free life.
If your dog is experiencing knee issues or has been diagnosed with a CCL tear, contact us to learn more about TPLO surgery and how it can help improve your pet’s quality of life.
