  • Muscle Pathologies

    Muscle tears and chronic strain injuries can impair performance and recovery. Biologic treatments, including PRP, help reduce fibrosis and restore muscle elasticity and strength.

    • Path

  • Pelvic Osteoarthritis (OA)

    Degenerative changes in the hip joint leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Management ranges from medical therapy to surgical interventions such as total hip replacement for advanced disease.

    • Path

  • Patella Luxation

    Displacement of the patella from its normal groove, commonly seen in small breeds. Surgical correction addresses malalignment and prevents cartilage wear, as well as chronic pain.

    • Path

  • Distal Femur Fractures

    Fractures involving the distal femur affect stifle articulation and stability. Surgical repair is crucial for maintaining proper alignment and promoting long-term joint health.

    • Path

  • Elbow Osteoarthritis (OA)

    Degenerative joint disease characterized by cartilage loss and bone remodeling within the elbow. Typically secondary to dysplasia or trauma, management focuses on pain relief and preserving mobility.

    • Path

  • Hip Luxation

    Dislocation of the femoral head from the acetabulum, often caused by trauma or severe hip dysplasia. Surgical reduction and stabilization are required to restore joint function and prevent chronic instability.

    • Path

  • Ilial Body Fractures

    Fracture of the ilium, commonly resulting from high-impact trauma. Surgical fixation may be necessary for displaced fractures to maintain pelvic alignment and weight-bearing function.

    • Path

  • Infraspinatus Tendon Injuries

    Fibrotic contracture or tendon injury of the infraspinatus causing abducted limb posture and decreased shoulder range of motion. Surgical release or tendon procedures restore motion and relieve lameness.

    • Path

  • Medial Coronoid Fragments

    Fragmentation of the medial coronoid process of the ulna, a key component of elbow dysplasia. Causes pain and joint instability; arthroscopic fragment removal is commonly performed.

    • Path

  • Joint Disease

    Degenerative joint conditions, including osteoarthritis, benefit from biologic interventions like PRP to reduce inflammation, support cartilage health, and enhance long-term mobility.

    • Path

  • Meniscal Injuries

    Damage to the meniscus often accompanies cruciate ligament injuries, causing pain and joint instability. Arthroscopic evaluation and partial meniscectomy are common treatments.

    • Path

  • Wound Healing

    Complex or slow-healing wounds benefit from biologic solutions, such as PRP, which enhance angiogenesis and tissue regeneration, thereby accelerating closure and reducing the risk of infection.

    • Path

  • Tendon and Ligament Pathologies

    Injuries to tendons and ligaments often require more than mechanical repair. PRP delivers growth factors that stimulate collagen synthesis and improve healing quality for durable function.

    • Path

  • Supraspinatus Tendon Injuries

    Tendinopathy or rupture of the supraspinatus leading to shoulder pain and compensatory gait changes. Options include rehab, PRP or other biologics, and surgical repair when structural failure is present.

    • Path

  • Stifle Osteoarthritis (OA)

    Degenerative changes in the stifle joint, often secondary to cruciate rupture or luxation. Management includes pain control, mobility preservation, and surgical options for advanced cases.

    • Path

  • Shoulder Luxation

    Complete displacement of the humeral head from the glenoid cavity, often caused by trauma or severe ligamentous and capsular disruption. Surgical intervention focuses on restoring joint congruity, stabilizing soft tissue structures, and preventing recurrent luxation and degenerative changes.

    • Path

  • Shoulder Instability

    Laxity or tearing of stabilizing ligaments and capsule, leading to abnormal humeral head movement. Surgical stabilization techniques aim to restore normal biomechanics and prevent degenerative changes from occurring.

    • Path

  • Sacroiliac Luxation and Fractures

    Separation of the ilium from the sacrum at the SI joint, usually due to trauma. Stabilization with screws or pins is often required to restore pelvic integrity and prevent gait abnormalities.

    • Path

  • Proximal Radius and Ulna Fractures

    Fractures near the elbow joint that compromise limb function and stability. Repair strategies include internal fixation to restore alignment and joint integrity.

    • Path

  • Scapula Fractures

    Breaks in the scapular body or neck, typically from high-impact trauma. Treatment ranges from conservative management to surgical fixation for displaced fractures affecting shoulder function.

    • Path

  • Proximal Humeral Fractures

    Fracture of the humeral head or neck, frequently caused by trauma. Repair strategies depend on fracture configuration and may involve internal fixation or prosthetic replacement for severe cases.

    • Path

  • Osteochondrosis Dissecans (OCD)

    A cartilage development disorder leading to flap formation and joint inflammation. Biologic adjuncts such as PRP complement surgical debridement by supporting cartilage repair and reducing postoperative inflammation.

    • Path

  • Elbow Osteochondrosis Dissecans (OCD)

    A cartilage development disorder affecting the humeral condyle, resulting in flap formation and joint inflammation. Arthroscopic removal of the lesion is the standard treatment for restoring function.
