Advanced orthopedic care to restore your pet’s mobility

Through our partnership with a visiting orthopedic surgeon, Prince George’s Animal Hospital offers specialized orthopedic surgery in Hyattsville, helping pets get back to comfortable movement and a better quality of life. Our team supports each case with extensive experience from fracture repair to complex joint procedures.

Advanced Orthopedic Procedures

Care for a wide range of orthopedic conditions

Our orthopedic surgical services address many bone and joint concerns. Our visiting surgeon performs procedures such as cruciate ligament repair, fracture stabilization, joint support surgeries, and other advanced interventions. Every treatment plan is carefully tailored using detailed imaging and your pet’s specific diagnosis.

Surgical Technology and Expertise

Modern tools and skilled hands for confident surgical outcomes

We continually invest in up-to-date surgical equipment and refined techniques to support the best possible results for our patients. Our surgical suite includes specialized orthopedic instrumentation and advanced imaging support, helping us perform precise procedures with safety and accuracy.

Specialized orthopedic treatment, done in-house

Many veterinary clinics need to refer orthopedic cases elsewhere. At Fairfax Ridge Animal Hospital, we’re equipped with a dedicated surgical suite and an experienced team that can handle advanced orthopedic procedures right here. That means fewer appointments across multiple locations, less hassle for you, and a smoother, often more affordable process for your pet.

Below are some of our in-house orthopedic services:

    • Fracture and Dislocation Repair: Our experienced veterinarians utilize advanced techniques to effectively mend broken bones and address dislocations, getting your pet back on their feet.
    • ACL Repair: We treat ACL injuries—common in dogs—with techniques designed to support stability and help many patients return to activity sooner.
    • Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO): For dogs struggling with hip pain (including cases related to hip dysplasia), FHO can reduce discomfort and improve day-to-day movement.
    • Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO): TPLO is a knee-stabilizing procedure that can restore function and reduce pain for dogs with certain ligament-related knee injuries.

    Comprehensive Pain Management

    Personalized plans to keep your pet comfortable and support recovery

    Comfort is a key part of orthopedic care. We create individualized pain-management plans that start before surgery and continue through the healing process. Using a multimodal approach, we help minimize discomfort while encouraging steady, healthy recovery.

    Recovery and Rehabilitation

    Clear, detailed post-operative guidance

    Healing after orthopedic surgery takes time and thoughtful support. We provide thorough at-home care instructions and build customized rehabilitation plans for your pet. Our team partners with you throughout recovery to promote proper healing and help your pet gradually return to comfortable mobility.
