Orthopedic Pet Surgery

Surgeries for bone or joint repair.

Orthopedic surgery is just one of the many types of surgery offered at ABC Animal & Bird Clinic. Rather than referring to a single surgery, orthopedic surgery is an umbrella term used to describe several bone and joint repair procedures.

At ABC Animal & Bird Clinic, our orthopedic services range from fracture stabilization to diagnostic procedures such as bone biopsies. For our Avian & Exotic patients, we utilize specialized equipment to provide external fixation or intramedullary pinning of limb fractures or congenital abnormalities.

Conditions that can be treated with orthopedic surgery include:

• Amputation
• Fractured Bones
• Femoral Head and Neck Ostectomy (FHO)

Any pet that undergoes orthopedic surgery will require at least two weeks of restricted exercise and constant monitoring. It’s important to understand that almost all orthopedic surgeries come with a lengthy recovery time and, depending on how well your pet is doing towards the end of their recovery, we may recommend a patient-specific rehabilitation plan.
