VETERINARY ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY
Orthopedic surgery involves bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Fractured bones and torn ligaments are some of the most common injuries seen by the veterinary surgeon. In many cases, there are multiple injuries to the pet often as the result of trauma. Advanced techniques including the use of steel plates and screws, or elaborate bone pin and clamp systems are required to adequately stabilize these injuries so that the pet can heal normally.
