Of the orthopedic surgeries, torn ACL or cranial cruciate ligament repair is the most common. Our veterinarian animal hospital offers two types of this surgery:

• Extracapsular repair-using the securos system. This is most suited to small dogs/cats, or low activity pets. Cost: $2,000-$2,375 plus tax
• TTA (tibial tuberosity advancement)-this surgery is more involved but is better suited for large breed, active dogs. Recovery is smoother and has fewer complications. Cost: $3,500– $4,200 plus tax

Other orthopedic surgeries our vet clinic commonly performs are:

• FHO- femoral head osteotomy
• Pelvic fracture repairs: sacroiliac, ilial, and acetabular fractures
• Luxating patella: both trochlear groove deepening, and tibial crest transposition
• Radial, femoral, humeral, tibial fractures
• Dislocations- e.g., hip, elbow

Often there is more than one way to fix a bone or joint and we will tailor the repair to meet you and your pet’s needs. Call us for pet orthopedic information.
