Orthopaedic surgery

Fracture repair

At Northvet our experienced small animal surgeons can perform most orthopaedic surgery procedures. There are some cases which require referral to specialist centres but most fractures can be repaired successfully by us. We have equipment to apply bone plates, external fixators, pins, wires and screws which allows us to treat most broken bones.

Cruciate rupture

Leona has undergone training to perform Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA) for cruciate ligament rupture and has been performing TTAs since 2016. Cruciate rupture is a very common problem in dogs and, in most cases, requires surgery for a successful outcome. Thankfully, following TTA surgery, most dogs go on to lead normal, active, pain-free lives.
