  • 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

  • Shoulder Osteoarthritis (OA)

    Progressive cartilage loss and joint remodeling in the shoulder, often secondary to instability or prior injury. Management focuses on pain control, mobility preservation, and surgical options for advanced disease.

    • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • General Trauma Concepts

    This section provides essential principles for managing musculoskeletal trauma in small animals. Explore core concepts, including radiographic planning for accurate diagnosis, the fundamentals of bone healing, and fracture classification systems that inform treatment decisions. Additional resources cover implant selection, fixation...

  • 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

  • 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 Humeral Fractures

    Breaks in the distal humerus affecting the elbow articulation, often due to trauma. Surgical repair is crucial for restoring normal biomechanics and preventing the progression of arthritis.

    • Path

  • Biceps Tendinopathies

    Inflammation/degeneration of the biceps brachii tendon in the intertubercular groove, producing shoulder pain and reduced stability. Arthroscopic evaluation with tenotomy/tenodesis and biologic augmentation is common in persistent 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Ilial 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

  • Surgical Approaches

    Explore comprehensive surgical approach demonstrations organized by body region. These videos highlight anatomy, landmarks, and safe dissection planes to support surgical planning and execution.

    • 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.
