Fracture Repair

• Simple and complex fracture repair of all bones

• Articular fracture repair (fractures involving joints)

• Physeal fractures (fractures involving growth plates)

Joint Disorders & Repair

• Articular luxation (joint dislocation) reduction and repair

• Arthrodesis (surgical fusion of a joint with irreparable damage)

• Medial patellar luxation repair (congenital dislocation of the kneecap)

• Toggle pin fixation for traumatic hip dislocations

• Femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHO)

Hip Dysplasia Evaluation & Treatment

• PennHIP Evaluation – the most accurate method for evaluating and predicting hip dysplasia

• Juvenile Pubic Symphysiodesis (JPS) – a minimally invasive, case-dependent procedure for young puppies with hip dysplasia

Juvenile pubic symphysiodesis (JPS) involves closing a growth plate at the bottom of the pelvis, allowing selective pelvic growth. Over the following 4–6 months, this results in increased coverage of the femoral head by the hip socket (acetabulum) as the puppy grows.

Tendon & Ligament Injuries

• Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) repair (the most common knee injury in pets; equivalent to the ACL in humans)

• CBLO (C.O.R.A.-Based Leveling Osteotomy), an advanced refinement of the TPLO procedure

• Extracapsular repair

• Calcanean (Achilles tendon) rupture and avulsion repair

• Carpal and tarsal ligament injuries (wrist and ankle/foot equivalents)

Additional Orthopedic Services

• Articular (joint) injections

• Limb amputation
