Orthopaedic Surgery

There are many conditions affecting our pets that can be treated surgically. Specialised veterinary orthopaedic surgeons are called upon to help find the solutions to challenging conditions affecting a variety of structures.

Orthopaedics is the treatment of problems involving the bones or joints – this might include evaluation of lameness, surgery for cranial cruciate ligament disease, repair of complicated fractures or spinal surgery. Orthopaedic surgeons may also be required to correct congenital problems such as hip dysplasia, patellar luxation and other problems that can significantly affect an individual's quality of life from an early age.

A variety of state of the art procedures are available at North Kent Referrals to treat cases of hip dysplasia, such as TPO (triple pelvic osteotomy), total hip replacements and symphysiodesis.

If you are coming to see the surgeons at North Kent Referrals we will discuss with you the options available to best solve your pet’s condition.
