What Medical Conditions Can Orthopedic Surgery Correct?

When your animal companion needs orthopedic care, consider contacting Dr. Guirges to find out if orthopedic surgery is a treatment option. You might be surprised to learn about the many medical conditions that can be corrected or improved through this technologically advanced treatment option. These include:

Certain Congenital Conditions

Congenital conditions entail any condition that your pet was born with. Often, congenital conditions aren’t evident until the animal grows into adulthood. It is then that the condition may cause serious lifestyle and health problems, such as digestive problems relating to spine malformation and more.

Hip Dysplasia

Hip dysplasia is a condition that is very common in certain breeds of dogs, including German Shepherds. Orthopedic surgery can correct this situation.

Fractures and Breaks

If your animal companion suffers any kind of fracture or break from an accident or other injury, it’s essential to get them to your veterinarian as soon as possible. The sooner orthopedic surgery can be performed, the better the outcome.

Rupture of Ligaments

Rupture of ligaments can cause your furry loved one to become lame. When this type of injury occurs in both legs, the level of lameness can be devastating, impacting your pet’s emotional well-being and overall physical health. Fortunately, orthopedic surgery solutions can correct the problem.
