Different types of Orthopedic Surgeries
Tibial Plateau Leveling Ostectomy (TPLO)
TPLO’s are a surgery performed on dogs to stabilize the stifle joint after ruptures of the cranial cruciate ligament which is the equivalent to the ACL in humans.
Arthrodesis
Arthrodesis is the surgical fusion of the joint to prevent movement in severe cases of arthritis or severely broken bones that can not be repaired.
Fractures
Fractures are typically classified as either “open” or “closed.” An open fracture occurs when the skin over the fracture is open and the bone is exposed, while with closed fractures, the skin over the affected area remains intact. There are also different variations of those classifications of fractures. Fracture repairs are a surgical process in which pins and plates are used to stabilize the bone while it heals.
