Orthopedics

Orthopedics for animals is a very important branch of veterinary medicine. She deals with the treatment and correction of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system in animals. Orthopedic problems in animals can be caused by various factors, such as injuries, malformations, bone and joint diseases.

Orthopedic treatment may include various methods, depending on the nature and complexity of the disease. This can be conservative treatment with drugs, physical therapy, massage and other methods, or surgical treatment such as orthopedic surgery, which involves cutting cartilage, endoprosthesis, etc.

The main goal of our orthopedic doctor's work is to restore the locomotor function of the injured part of the animal's body and reduce pain.

A veterinarian helps pet owners understand the problem, provides advice on caring for the animal during rehabilitation, and points out possible complications and preventative measures to prevent re-injury. It is important to consult a podiatrist if the animal has problems with movement or if the animal has been injured to prevent further complications.

How does an orthopedic examination take place?

  • 1. History taking: the doctor asks the owner about any signs of problems with the animal's musculoskeletal system, its medical history and details about its behavior and activity.
  • 2. Physical examination: the doctor conducts a detailed examination of the animal's musculoskeletal system, checks the condition of the limbs, joints and muscles, and performs percussion and auscultation to detect possible changes.
  • 3. Diagnostic procedures: depending on the symptoms, the doctor may prescribe X-rays, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or other diagnostic procedures to establish an accurate diagnosis.
  • 4. Treatment plan: based on the results of the examination and diagnostic procedures, the doctor makes an individual treatment plan, which may include drugs, physical therapy, surgery and other procedures. The doctor can also provide advice on caring for the animal and preventing re-injury.
  • 5. Constant monitoring: after starting the treatment, the doctor constantly monitors the animal's condition and makes adjustments to the treatment plan if necessary.

All these stages allow the doctor to get a complete picture of the state of the animal's musculoskeletal system and choose the most effective method of treatment.
