At Midwest Animal Hospital, we know that your pet isn’t just an animal—they’re a cherished member of your family. When injuries, joint issues, or congenital conditions start to affect their mobility and quality of life, it’s more than just a medical problem—it’s personal. That’s why we’re proud to offer advanced orthopedic surgery options to help your pets get back on their paws.
What Is Orthopedic Surgery?
Orthopedic surgery focuses on treating issues involving the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
For pets, this can include conditions like:
- Cranial Ligament Cruciate tears (CCL/ACL injuries)
- Fractures and broken bones
- Hip dysplasia
- Luxating patella (dislocated kneecaps)
- Arthritis and joint degeneration
These issues can cause pain, lameness, and loss of function—but with the right surgical care, many pets can make a full recovery and enjoy a more active, comfortable life.

What to Expect
When your pet is referred for orthopedic surgery, we start with a thorough physical examination, diagnostic imaging (like X-rays), and a discussion of all treatment options. After surgery, we provide a comprehensive pain management plan and rehabilitation recommendations to support a smooth recovery.
We also offer in-house rehabilitation services, including laser therapy, physiotherapy, and hydrotherapy, to speed healing and help your pet regain strength and mobility.
The Sooner, the Better
If you’ve noticed your pet limping, struggling to stand, or avoiding favorite activities like running or jumping, it might be time to explore orthopedic solutions. Early intervention can prevent further damage and dramatically improve long-term outcomes.
