Comprehensive Orthopedic Care for Pets in Monmouth County, NJ
Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgery treats your pet’s bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles—areas in which your pet may feel pain due to a variety of illnesses, injuries, or simply age. We can help dogs and cats who suffer from joint problems, torn ligaments, broken bones, and even help correct congenital problems. Most orthopedic surgery is focused around the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), the knee patella, and the canine hip. This includes dog knee surgery (TPLO & MPL), hip surgery (FHO), and fracture repair.
The most common orthopedic surgical conditions that we treat at Howell Animal Hospital include:
