Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture (TTA, FHT, TPLO)
At LACDH, we are in the treatment of Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) ruptures, one of the most common knee injuries in pets. We offer advanced surgical options, including Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA), Femoral Head and Neck Ostectomy (FHT), and Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) to help restore your pet’s mobility and quality of life. These procedures are designed to stabilize the knee joint, reduce pain, and promote long-term joint health. Our skilled veterinary team will work closely with you to determine the best treatment plan for your pet’s specific condition, ensuring they receive the highest level of care and the best possible outcome.
Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO)
We offer Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgery to treat hip joint issues such as hip dysplasia or fractures in pets. FHO involves removing the femoral head (the top of the thigh bone) to alleviate pain and improve mobility. This procedure is particularly beneficial for pets with severe joint degeneration, where joint replacement may not be an option. Our experienced surgical team works closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan, aiming to help your pet recover and regain comfort and movement. FHO can provide lasting pain relief and significantly enhance your pet’s quality of life.
Total Hip Replacement (Cementless)
We provide Total Hip Replacement (Cementless) surgery for pets suffering from severe hip joint issues, such as advanced hip dysplasia or arthritis. This advanced procedure involves replacing the damaged hip joint with a prosthetic one, using a cementless technique to allow the bone to naturally integrate with the implant. The result is a more stable joint with improved mobility and reduced pain. For pets with more complex conditions, such as severe fractures or unmanageable joint issues, we also offer amputation as a solution to relieve pain and improve quality of life. Our veterinary team will carefully assess your pet’s condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment to ensure a positive outcome and enhanced comfort.
Ununited Anconeal Process (UAP) and Triple Pelvic Osteotomy (TPO)
We offer treatments for conditions like Ununited Anconeal Process (UAP) and Triple Pelvic Osteotomy (TPO) to help improve your pet’s mobility and quality of life. UAP is a condition where the anconeal process of the elbow fails to fuse, leading to pain and lameness. Surgical intervention is often required to correct this issue and restore joint function. For pets with hip dysplasia, we offer Triple Pelvic Osteotomy (TPO), a procedure that involves cutting and rotating the pelvic bones to improve the hip joint’s stability and function. Both surgeries are designed to alleviate pain, improve joint health, and enhance your pet’s overall well-being. Our experienced surgical team will work closely with you to determine the best approach to restore your pet's mobility and comfort.
Fracture Repairs
We are in fracture repair procedures, using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to restore your pet’s mobility and comfort. Our experienced veterinarian handles a wide range of fractures, including Hip Dysplasia, Capital Physeal Fracture Repair, Lateral Condylar Fractures, Mandible Fractures, and Pelvic and other fractures. With advanced surgical methods and precise care, we aim to alleviate pain, restore function, and help your pet return to an active lifestyle. Whether dealing with traumatic injuries or congenital conditions, we are dedicated to providing the highest level of care to ensure the best possible outcome for your pet’s recovery.
Carpal Arthrodesis
Carpal Arthrodesis is a surgical procedure designed to treat severe arthritis or fractures in the carpal joint (wrist) of pets. This procedure involves fusing the bones of the carpal joint to eliminate pain and restore function, especially when other treatments are not effective. Often recommended for conditions such as advanced arthritis, traumatic injury, or joint instability, carpal arthrodesis helps improve mobility and reduce discomfort. Our experienced veterinarian uses state-of-the-art equipment to perform this procedure, ensuring the best possible outcome for your pet’s recovery and long-term well-being.
Premature Ulnar Physis Closure
Premature Ulnar Physis Closure is a condition where the growth plate in the ulna (one of the forelimb bones) closes too early, leading to limb deformities and lameness. This condition can result in angular limb deformities, causing pain and mobility issues in pets. Treatment typically involves surgical correction, such as osteotomy (bone cutting) to realign the limb and restore proper function. Our experienced veterinarian uses advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to address this issue and ensure your pet’s long-term comfort and mobility. Early intervention is key to successful outcomes, helping your pet return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.
