Surgery (Orthopaedic)

Orthopaedic Surgery at Veterinary Associates Takanini

Orthopaedic procedures

  • TTO (Triple tibial osteotomy) for cranial cruciate rupture. We have performed almost 500 in the last 5 years.
  • TTA (Tibial tuberosity advancement). We can perform this procedure in most size patients but advice against opting for TTO in larger patients.
  • Extracapsular cruciate repair for small dogs (we are starting to do TTA’s and TTO’s on smaller patients with excellent results)
  • OCD surgery of the shoulder, elbow, stifle and tarsus
  • Patellar luxation
  • Elbow arthrotomy for medial compartment syndrome with BURP (Biceps Ulnar Tendon Release Procedure)
  • Biceps tendon release for chronic pain associated with biciptal tenosynovitis
  • Fracture repair (pinning, plating, external fixation etc.)
  • Pelvic fracture repair – despite everything you believe about cage rest, these patients simply do much better when the pelvis is stabilised
  • Sacro-iliac fracture luxation repair
  • Carpal and Tarsal arthrodesis
  • Femoral head and neck excision
  • Corrective osteotomies for valgus or varus deformity
  • Maxillectomy and mandibulectomy for oral cancer
