Orthopaedics

Orthopaedics is quite an advanced area of veterinary surgery needing specialised equipment, training and experience to perform well.

Kate has been doing advanced orthopaedic surgery for more than 10 years and has trained or performed almost every orthopaedic surgery in dogs including:

• TTA, TPLO and CBLO surgery for treating cruciate ligament tears.
• BURP, PAUL and Dynamic Ulna Osteotomy for treating elbow disease.
• Double (Triple) Pelvic Osteotomy for treating hip dysplasia in dogs.
• Locking plate and External fixator fracture repair in dogs, cats and even rabbits!
• Arthroscopy

Kate can perform many orthopaedic surgical procedures locally and often at considerably less expense than specialist veterinary centres in Sydney or Canberra. See the links in the above menu for more details on common surgeries she performs. If you can’t find or are unsure about what surgery your pet needs then please feel free to contact us. We are also very happy to work with your regular veterinarian on a referral basis.
