Orthopedic Surgery for Pets

When your pet is injured or having difficulty moving, it can be stressful for both of you. Limping, stiffness, or reluctance to jump or play may be signs of an orthopedic condition affecting your pet’s bones, joints, or ligaments.

At Animal Hospital at Auburn Hills, our veterinary team evaluates orthopedic concerns and helps determine the most appropriate treatment plan, whether that includes medical management, rehabilitation, or surgery. Our goal is to relieve pain, restore mobility, and help your pet return to an active, comfortable life.

Common Pet Orthopedic Surgeries

The following surgeries are routinely performed by our veterinarians to get your pet on the road to feeling better!

TPLO Surgery

TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) is a surgical procedure designed to stabilize the knee by altering the mechanics of the joint. It is often recommended for larger or highly active dogs.

While TPLO is a specialized orthopedic procedure typically performed by board-certified surgeons, our team will guide you through diagnosis, referral, and post-operative care to ensure a smooth experience.

Orthopedic Referrals & Collaborative Care

Some orthopedic procedures are performed in general practice, while more complex surgeries are best handled by board-certified veterinary surgeons. When referral care is recommended, we work closely with trusted specialty partners to ensure continuity of care before and after surgery.
