Orthopedic examinations are most commonly performed at the clinic due to limping or musculoskeletal pain. Also official X-ray examinations of the Kennel Club are done.
Official examinations:
- Official knee joint examinations
- Official X-ray examinations of the Kennel Club (hips, elbows, back)
Cranial cruciate ligament ruptures:
- At the moment, we are doing cranial cruciate ligament surgeries of cats and small/medium sized dogs using the lateral-suture method.
- Before surgery, a thourough examination should be done to evaluate the need for surgery and if necessary also x-rays taken.
- For large dogs we recommend different methods of repair and, if necessary, we guide you to the clinics where these surgeries are done.
Amputations:
- Leg, toe and tail amputations, for example, due to fractures or malignant tumors.
Femoral head ostectomy:
- The head and neck of the femur can be removed due to, for example, chronic luxation of the hip or degeneration of the femoral head and neck (Legg-Perthes disease).
