Comprehensive Orthopedic Surgery for Dogs in Calgary

Our orthopedic dog surgery vet Dr. Price provides expert treatment for canine musculoskeletal problems, from ccl tears to degenerative joint disease.

Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) Surgery For Dogs

TPLO surgery offers reliable and early return to limb use and has been shown to have some of the best and most consistent outcomes among procedures for cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears in dogs.

Dr. Price brings a wealth of experience and precision to our clinic regarding joint surgery, and particularly TPLO.

This is one of the most common procedures that we perform and we ensure no compromise to the level of care, management, and surgical technique required to achieve for optimal outcomes and minimal complications from this surgery.

TPLO surgery is the preferred treatment for CCL injuries in dogs of almost all sizes, offering superior outcomes compared to traditional methods.

Hip Surgery - FHO, JPS

Our orthopedic surgery vet performs femoral head ostectomy (FHO), hip toggle repair for traumatic hip luxation and can perform juvenile pubic symphysiodesis (JPS) to prevent hip dysplasia in puppies younger than 16-18 weeks of age.

Fracture Repair and Bone Surgery

Our team treats bone fractures using locking bone plates and cutting edge fixation techniques including minimally invasive repairs when appropriate.

Dr Price has exceptional experience and interest in Trauma management. Our schedule is organized to prioritize emergency cases when possible.

Luxating Patella Surgery

Luxating patella, or kneecap dislocation, commonly affects small to medium-sized dogs and causes lameness and pain.

Each case of patellar luxation is carefully assessed and each individual deformity is addressed and corrected as necessary to resolve the condition.

Dr. Price performs patella stabilization procedures to realign the kneecap and prevent future dislocations.

Elbow Dysplasia and OCD Surgery

Elbow dysplasia and osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) affect dogs, causing joint pain and lameness. Elbow disease is a complex condition with a variety of treatment options.

Dr. Price is able to assess these cases and determine an appropriate treatment course in each individual case.

Surgical procedures such as ulna osteotomy, medial coronoid fragment removal, OCD cartilage debridement and other techniques may be used in combination to improve mobility in these patients.

Joint Surgery

We also treat shoulder, elbow, and other joint conditions in dogs with tailored surgical approaches to restore mobility and reduce pain.

Limb Deformity Correction

Dogs can suffer from congenital or acquired limb deformities that affect mobility.

We can consult and perform corrective osteotomies and angular limb correction procedures to improve function and quality of life in affected canine patients.

Depending on the patients needs and expected outcomes, Dr. Price can perform extracapsular repairs, TPLO, or CBLO (Cora Based Leveling Osteotomy) surgery to restore knee stability and mobility.
