Joint Replacement
We offer a range of services including joint replacement for dogs and joint replacement for cats as well as successful cruciate repair. Joints replaced include hips, knees, and elbows. We were the first hospital in Ireland to offer this service. -
Limb deformity
Limb deformity is usually treated by osteotomy and an external frame such as an Ilizarov or ring fixator, which may need regular adjustment. The treatment time can be quite long, but it is possible to change the shape of a limb to a more normal cosmetic and functional position. Such deformities are Carpal/tarsal valgus, carpal/tarsal varus, shortened limbs, torsion of front or hind feet, medial or lateral bowing of long bones, and spinal deformity.
