Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO)
​At The Woodbridge Vets, we offer Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery for dogs suffering from cruciate ligament injuries. This advanced procedure stabilises the knee joint by altering the tibial plateau’s angle, allowing your dog to regain mobility and alleviate pain. TPLO is often recommended for active dogs and large breeds, as it provides long-term stability and a quicker recovery compared to other techniques. Our experienced surgeons, Laurie and Simon, use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the best outcomes for your pet. At The Woodbridge Vets, your dog’s comfort and swift recovery are our top priorities.
Patella Luxation Surgery
​​At The Woodbridge Vets, we provide patella luxation surgery to correct kneecap dislocation in dogs and cats. Patella luxation, where the kneecap moves out of its normal position, can lead to pain, lameness, and long-term joint damage if left untreated. Our skilled surgeons, Laurie and Simon, perform corrective procedures to realign the kneecap and restore normal joint function. Using advanced surgical techniques, we aim to reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and prevent further complications. With our state-of-the-art facilities and compassionate care, your pet is in safe hands at The Woodbridge Vets, ensuring a smooth recovery and better quality of life.
Fracture Repairs
​At The Woodbridge Vets, we provide comprehensive fracture repair services for pets with broken bones, ensuring the best possible recovery. Fractures can result from accidents or trauma, and timely, effective treatment is essential to restore mobility and reduce pain. Our experienced surgeons, Laurie and Simon, use a variety of techniques such as plates, pins, and external fixators to stabilise the bone and promote healing. Each case is carefully assessed to determine the most appropriate method for your pet’s needs. With advanced equipment and dedicated post-operative care, we ensure your pet receives top-quality treatment for a smooth and successful recovery.​
Arthroscopy
At The Woodbridge Vets, we perform arthroscopy for diagnosing and treating joint conditions in pets, primarily focusing on the elbow and stifle (knee) joints. Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera inserted into the joint to examine, diagnose, and treat issues such as cartilage damage, ligament injuries, and joint disease. This technique offers a faster recovery, less pain, and fewer complications compared to traditional surgery. Our skilled surgeons, Laurie and Simon, use this advanced method to provide precise treatment, helping pets regain mobility and reducing long-term joint damage.
