Mobility and Comfort
Our animal orthopedics in Kronenwetter are designed to address a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, ensuring our patient’s mobility, comfort, and long-term well-being.
Our veterinary team is skilled in diagnosing and treating injuries, congenital conditions, and degenerative disorders affecting a patient’s bones, joints, and ligaments.
Services Include:
Fracture Repair: We provide advanced surgical techniques to repair fractures using pins, plates, and screws, ensuring proper bone alignment and healing.
Cruciate Ligament Repair (TPLO/TTA): For patients with torn or ruptured cruciate ligaments, we offer TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) and TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement) surgeries to restore joint stability and function.
Hip Dysplasia Treatment: Our clinic offers both surgical and non-surgical options for managing hip dysplasia, including total hip replacement or femoral head ostectomy (FHO) for severe cases.
Arthritis Management: We offer comprehensive arthritis management plans, including medications, physical therapy, and nutritional support, to alleviate pain and improve quality of life.
Patellar Luxation Correction: For pets with dislocating kneecaps, we provide corrective surgery to realign the kneecap and prevent further injury or discomfort.
Joint Reconstruction and Stabilization: For pets with ligament injuries or joint instability, we offer specialized reconstructive surgeries to restore joint function and prevent long-term damage.
Our goal is to help patients recover fully, improve their mobility, and maintain an active, pain-free lifestyle. With a focus on animal orthopedics in Kronenwetter, we offer both surgical and conservative treatments tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
