Orthopaedic issues in dogs are common and can arise due to a injury, genetics, or aging. 

Common Conditions: 

• Hip dysplasia: occurs when the hip joint does not develop properly, leading to pain and reduced mobility.
• Arthritis: often seen in older dogs, involves the inflammation of joints, causing stiffness and discomfort.
• Cruciate ligament injuries : there are tears to ligaments.
• Patellar Luxation: causing pain and instability.

Treatment:

Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention are essential to maintaining a dog’s quality of life.

• Treatment involves a combination of pain management, physiotherapy and surgery.
• Common orthopaedic procedures include joint replacements, cruciate ligament repairs (TPLO or TTA surgeries), and corrective surgeries for fractures or luxating patellae.
