Orthopaedics

Overview

In the orthopaedics team, we pride ourselves in being able to customise the best possible treatment plan to our individual patients.

As part of a multi-discipline hospital, we work closely with our colleagues in all other departments, particularly our specialist anaesthetists, diagnostic imagers, neurologists and the critical care team to make sure that all aspects of our patients’ needs are met.

We offer a wide range of surgical procedures for dogs and cats with different conditions including:

• Cranial cruciate ligament disease (including TPLO surgery) – watch our TPLO video below.
• Medial patella luxation
• Developmental joint disease (including arthroscopic management of medial coronoid disease of the elbow/elbow dysplasia, osteochondritis of various joints)
• Humeral intracondylar fissure
• Conditions requiring salvage surgeries such as arthrodesis, femoral head and neck excision arthroplasty
• Management of angular limb deformities
• Surgical and non-surgical reduction of joint luxations
• Management of fractures and other trauma

We have access to a wide range of imaging techniques including x-ray, CT, MRI, fluoroscopy and musculoskeletal ultrasound, which means that we can offer in-house diagnostic investigations for all the patients we see.

For vets: If you wish to refer a patient to us for the management of fractures or recent trauma, please contact us by telephone to arrange an emergency referral.
