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.
-
Cranial Cruciate Ligament Ruptures
The most common cause of hindlimb lameness in dogs, resulting from ligament degeneration or trauma. Surgical stabilization techniques aim to restore stifle function and prevent the development of secondary osteoarthritis.
-
-
Caudal Cruciate Ligament Ruptures
Less frequent than cranial rupture, this injury compromises stifle stability and often occurs with other ligament or meniscal damage. Repair focuses on restoring joint alignment and function to improve overall mobility.
-
-
-
Meniscal Injuries
Damage to the meniscus often accompanies cruciate ligament injuries, causing pain and joint instability. Arthroscopic evaluation and partial meniscectomy are common treatments.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Joint Disease
Degenerative joint conditions, including osteoarthritis, benefit from biologic interventions like PRP to reduce inflammation, support cartilage health, and enhance long-term mobility.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
