Pet Orthopedic Surgery
Strong Bones, Steady Steps, Happy Pets
Justin Animal Hospital is here to help your pet get back to chasing tennis balls or cuddling on the couch with our advanced orthopedic pet surgery services. Boasting extensive experience in pet orthopedic procedures—including specialized procedures like TPLO surgery for dogs—our skilled veterinary team addresses lameness, joint pain, and more with precision and compassion.
What Is Orthopedic Pet Surgery?
Orthopedic surgery addresses issues involving your pet’s bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Whether it’s an injury from an accident or a degenerative condition like arthritis or hip dysplasia, orthopedic surgery can relieve pain, restore function, and improve long-term quality of life.
At Justin Animal Hospital, we offer:
- Dog knee surgery, including TPLO and extracapsular repair
- Fracture and trauma repair
- Joint luxation stabilization
- Femoral head ostectomy (FHO)
- Patellar luxation correction
- Osteoarthritis treatment and joint therapy
Each case is approached with care, precision, and a commitment to gold-standard veterinary medicine.
TPLO Surgery for Dogs
One of the most common orthopedic procedures we perform is TPLO surgery for dogs with a torn cranial cruciate ligament (CCL)—similar to an ACL tear in humans. TPLO changes the angle of the knee joint to stabilize it without relying on the damaged ligament.
Benefits of TPLO include:
- Faster return to function compared to traditional repairs
- Ideal for large, active, or athletic dogs
- Long-term stability and reduced risk of re-injury
Our veterinary team will help determine if TPLO or another type of dog knee surgery is the best fit for your pet’s breed, size, and lifestyle.
What to Expect from Orthopedic Surgery
Comprehensive Consultation
We begin with an orthopedic evaluation and digital imaging (X-rays) to assess your pet’s condition and recommend the right surgical approach.
Customized Surgical Plan
No two pets are the same. We’ll walk you through a tailored plan that includes pre-op testing, anesthesia safety, and recovery expectations.
Advanced Surgical Care
Surgeries are performed in our sterile, modern surgical suite using the latest techniques and real-time patient monitoring.

Your pet’s recovery is our priority. We’ll provide clear at-home instructions, pain management, and follow-up care to ensure a smooth, successful outcome.
