Orthopaedic Surgeries at Paws in the City: Providing Mobility and Comfort for Your Pets

At Paws in the City, we know that pets are family. When they experience mobility issues, pain, or injuries, it can be distressing for both you and your furry companion. That’s why we’re proud to offer specialised orthopaedic surgical services designed to improve your pet’s quality of life and restore their ability to move freely and without discomfort.

What Are Orthopaedic Surgeries?

Orthopaedic surgeries focus on the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and other structures that make up your pet’s musculoskeletal system. These procedures address issues like fractures, dislocations, congenital deformities, arthritis, and injuries to ligaments such as the cruciate ligament in the knee. Whether it’s a sudden trauma or a chronic condition, orthopaedic surgery may be the key to helping your pet regain their strength and agility.

Conditions We Treat

At Paws in the City, we provide a range of orthopaedic services tailored to meet the specific needs of dogs, cats, and other small animals. Here are some of the common conditions we treat:

1. Cruciate Ligament Tears (ACL Injuries)
   These are one of the most common orthopaedic issues in dogs. We offer advanced surgical options such as Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) and Extra-capsular Repair to restore stability to the knee joint.
   ‍
2. Hip Dysplasia
   For pets suffering from this genetic condition, we provide corrective surgeries such as Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) or Total Hip Replacement, depending on the severity of the condition and the size of the pet.
   ‍
3. Fracture Repair
   Whether caused by an accident or fall, fractures require immediate attention. We use advanced techniques, including pins, plates, and external fixators, to ensure proper healing and alignment of broken bones.
   ‍
4. Patellar Luxation
   Pets with “slipping kneecaps” often experience lameness and discomfort. Our surgical procedures realign the kneecap, ensuring smooth movement and long-term relief.
   ‍
5. Arthritis and Degenerative Joint Disease
   In cases of severe arthritis, surgical interventions like joint fusion or arthroplasty can provide pain relief and improved mobility.
   ‍
6. Congenital and Developmental Disorders
   From limb deformities to growth plate injuries, we have the expertise to address these challenges and improve your pet’s quality of life.
