Bone surgery (Orthopedics)
Bone surgery (Orthopedics)
Orthopedic surgery plays a crucial role in the veterinary care of dogs and cats. It is concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders, including bones, joints, muscles and ligaments. Early identification and treatment of orthopedic problems is crucial to alleviate pain and improve the quality of life of our animal companions.
Orthopedic surgery provides effective solutions for treating musculoskeletal problems in dogs and cats. With modern surgical techniques, we can alleviate pain, restore functions and significantly improve the quality of life of our animals.
fractures
Fractures are common injuries in dogs and cats caused by accidents, falls, or trauma. Treatment depends on the type and location of the fracture. In many cases, surgical stabilization may be necessary to keep bones in the correct position and ensure optimal healing. Fracture treatment methods include internal fixation systems (plates and screws) or external fixators.
knee surgery
Knee problems are common among dogs, particularly breeds such as Labrador Retrievers, Rottweilers, and small dog breeds. The most common disorders include:
- patellar luxation: In this condition, the kneecap moves out of its normal position. Surgical correction can help reduce pain and restore knee function.
- cruciate ligament rupture: This injury is particularly common in active dogs. The most common surgical procedures are Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) or Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA), which aim to restore knee stability.
hip replacement
Hip dysplasia is a common condition among large dog breeds such as German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Saint Bernard. It leads to painful changes in the hip joint. In severe cases, hip replacement may be necessary to reduce pain and improve mobility. Cats can also develop hip dysplasia, although less frequently.
Orthopedic surgery provides effective solutions for treating musculoskeletal problems in dogs and cats. Thanks to modern surgical techniques, we can alleviate pain, restore function and significantly improve the quality of life of our animals.

Die Dauer der Genesung ist je nach Art des Eingriffs unterschiedlich; in den meisten Fällen kann sie sich über mehrere Wochen bis Monate erstrecken.
Die Tiere müssen sich während des Eingriffs in Narkose befinden, was bedeutet, dass Sie als Besitzer des Tieres nicht anwesend sein können.
Ja! Achten Sie darauf, dass Ihr Tier während der Genesung genügend Ruhe bekommt und befolgen Sie die Anweisungen Ihres Tierarztes genau, um die Genesung zu unterstützen.
