Pet Orthopedic Surgeries We Offer
Our Orland Park animal hospital provides a range of orthopedic procedures tailored to each patient’s diagnosis, activity level, and joint health. Your veterinarian will walk you through your pet’s treatment plan, expected recovery timeline, and at-home care instructions.
TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy)
TPLO is a common surgical treatment for cranial cruciate ligament injuries in dogs. This procedure helps stabilize the knee joint and encourages a more natural range of motion during movement.
TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement)
TTA is another stabilization technique for cruciate ligament injuries in dogs. By modifying the angle within the knee joint, TTA reduces strain during weight-bearing and supports comfortable mobility.
FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy)
FHO may be recommended for pets with hip dysplasia or severe hip joint trauma. The procedure removes the femoral head to reduce pain and allows the surrounding muscles to support functional movement.
Lateral Suture Technique
The lateral suture repair is often used for small- to medium-sized dogs experiencing cruciate ligament tears. A stabilizing suture outside the knee joint allows the surrounding tissues to strengthen as the pet heals.
Luxating Patella Surgery
For pets with kneecaps that shift or “pop out” of place, luxating patella surgery helps realign the joint and improve gait stability.
Fracture Repairs
Whether due to falls, accidents, or trauma, fractures require careful assessment and treatment. Our veterinarian performs internal and external fixation techniques for proper bone healing and alignment.
Supporting Recovery with Canine Rehabilitation
Surgery is only one part of restoring mobility. Our canine rehabilitation program helps pets regain strength, flexibility, and confidence after orthopedic procedures. Rehabilitation exercises are customized to your pet’s needs and progress, with the goal of improving comfort and supporting long-term function.

Bringing Comfort and Mobility Back to Your Pet
Improved movement can help pets return to activities they enjoy, whether that means playing fetch in the yard, jumping onto a favorite spot on the couch, or simply walking with ease. Our team at Midwest Animal Hospital remains committed to supportive care, clear communication, and thoughtful guidance throughout the treatment and recovery process. If you believe your pet may benefit from orthopedic surgery or an evaluation, we are here to help.
