Orthopaedic Surgeries

At Stanfield Veterinary Hospital, we understand that mobility is a key contributor to your pet’s quality of life. That’s why we provide expert orthopedic surgery in Mississauga to help with injuries and conditions that impact your pet’s bones, joints, and ligaments. Whether your pet has surgical trauma or degenerative joint problems, our experienced team will work to restore normalcy and maximize comfort and function.

Our Orthopaedic Services Include:

Fracture Repairs: Using the latest internal and external fixation, we treat all fractures so your pet’s bones heal properly and securely.

Cure of Crochet Ligament (Acl Surgery): Cruciate ligament tears are one of the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs. Surgical options, such as TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) or Lateral Suture Techniques, may be recommended to restore joint functionality and alleviate pain.

Luxating Patella Correction: In pets, fluid around a knee joint of the leg can cause a dislocated kneecap that can be painful and cause lameness. Our surgical repair works toward returning the patella to normal tracking, stabilizing the joint, and restoring your pet’s mobility.

Treatment of Hip and Elbow Dysplasia: We offer surgical treatment of pain, deformities, and dysfunctional joints for developmental issues in joints, including femoral head osteotomy (FHO) and other correctional techniques.

Arthroscopy: Arthroscopy (arth-ROH-skuh-pee) is a minimally invasive, highly effective procedure that exercises your medical doctor’s ability to diagnose and treat joint problems with less pain and quicker recovery.

Amputation (When Necessary): In certain conditions caused by trauma or disease, the best approach is the amputation of the limbs. From consultation to recovery, we provide compassionate care.

The Surgical Process

Initial Consultation: A detailed orthopedic evaluation and requested diagnostic studies (X-ray, CT scans, if necessary) to establish the best course of treatment.

Pre-Surgical Exam: We will perform blood work and a health check to confirm your pet is healthy enough for surgery.

Surgery: The procedure is done by trained veterinarians with the best tools and techniques for safety and accuracy.

Post-Operative Treatment: Practice pain relief, develop a rehabilitation plan, and follow up regarding the recovery process.

Pet Recovery & Rehabilitation

The care after the operation is as crucial as the operation itself. We give you home-care instructions and, when needed, can suggest physiotherapy or rehabilitation services to help you recover fully. Our team is here to settle your concerns and monitor your pet’s progress at every level.
