Orthapedic Surgery

At Smithfield Central Vets, we provide skilled orthopaedic surgical care for fractures, joint issues, ligament injuries, and other musculoskeletal problems. Our team combines modern surgical techniques with compassionate handling to help your pet return to comfortable, confident movement.

Whether your pet has suffered an accident, developed a degenerative condition, or requires corrective surgery, we focus on clear diagnosis, tailored treatment, and supportive recovery planning.

Our orthopaedic surgery services include:

• Fracture Repair – stabilisation of broken bones using pins, plates, or external fixation depending on the injury.

• Cruciate Ligament Surgery – treatment options for torn cruciate ligaments, one of the most common causes of hindlimb lameness in dogs.

• Patella Luxation Repair – corrective surgery to stabilise the kneecap and restore normal movement.

• Joint & Bone Surgery – including procedures for hip, elbow, and shoulder conditions.

• Wound & Trauma Management – comprehensive care for injuries affecting bones, joints, and surrounding tissues.

Comprehensive care from start to finish

Every orthopaedic patient receives:

• Thorough orthopaedic examination and imaging

• Pre‑anaesthetic blood testing

• Intravenous fluids and advanced anaesthetic monitoring

• Continuous supervision by experienced veterinary nurses

• Tailored pain management and rehabilitation guidance

We work closely with you to support your pet’s recovery, offering advice on rest, physiotherapy, and long‑term joint health. With skilled surgical care and a personalised approach, we help your pet get back on their feet with confidence.
