Orthopedic Department "Trinity" – Movement without pain

Orthopedic diagnostics at the Trinity clinic in Kyiv – the accuracy with which treatment begins

When an animal is limping or unable to stand on its paw, it is important not to guess, but to check. To do this, we perform orthopedic diagnostics with imaging: an X-ray of the dog's paw and also evaluate the soft tissues and joints. This way we understand whether the dog has a broken paw, ligament damage, dislocation or chronic joint disease.

Before the intervention, the doctor forms an orthopedic treatment plan for the animal and explains to the owner what exactly is seen in the images, what the risks are, and how to avoid unnecessary pain. If visual diagnostics are needed, it can be done in Kyiv at the Trinity Veterinary Hospital.

Fractures and Osteosynthesis – when bone fixation is needed

Fractures in dogs and cats often occur after falls, blows or unsuccessful jumps. In such cases, we assess the type of injury and choose a tactic: sometimes gentle management is possible, but often treatment of fractures in animals with reliable fixation is required. For complex cases, osteosynthesis is used in a dog or cat so that the bone grows properly and without secondary deformations.

During the operation, we select the fixation method individually: it can be plates for fractures or fixation of the fracture with spokes in dogs and cats - depending on the localization, age and activity of the animal. If you need help with a limb injury for animals in Kyiv, contact the Trinity clinic in Kyiv, clarify the details with the administrator.

Ligament tears and knee instability – how to regain support on the leg

One of the common causes of lameness is a rupture of the cruciate ligament in a dog. The animal may suddenly start to guard the paw, the dog's knee becomes unstable, painful, and reluctant to jump and run. It is important not to delay, as this changes the load on the joint and increases the risk of osteoarthritis.

We select treatment depending on the condition of the joint and weight: from supportive therapy to surgical restoration of stability. In difficult situations, joint stabilization with a clear recovery plan helps. Rehabilitation tactics and timing are discussed individually, please check with the administrator for details.

Dislocations and Joint Injuries – from Reduction to Correction

It is important to act quickly in case of dislocations, especially if the animal refuses to lean on the limb after the injury. Dislocation of the patella in dogs is common, as well as dislocations of other joints after blows. The doctor assesses the stability and decides whether a conservative approach is sufficient or whether surgery is necessary.

We perform the treatment in such a way as to restore the correct axis and movement. After the intervention, the owner receives a plan for limiting activity and control examinations to avoid re-displacement. If you need an examination by an orthopedist for animals in Kyiv, it is convenient to make an appointment at the Veterinary Hospital "Trinity".

Dysplasia, Arthritis and Osteoarthritis – a systemic approach to chronic problems

Chronic joint diseases can start unnoticed: the animal gets tired more quickly, is reluctant to climb stairs, and becomes stiff after sleeping. Often the cause is hip dysplasia in dogs or elbow problems. Therefore, we diagnose dysplasia and determine the stage in order to choose the right path.

Treatment may include weight control, anti-inflammatory support, physiotherapy, and in certain cases, surgical treatment of dysplasia. If you are concerned about arthritis in dogs or signs of arthrosis, it is important not to wait until the pain becomes daily. In Kyiv at Trinity, we select solutions for the animal's lifestyle and the owner's expectations.

Postoperative rehabilitation and physiotherapy – return to active life

The operation is only part of the success, the recovery is what follows. We create an individual program: post-operative rehabilitation of animals helps to restore muscle strength, normal support and control of movements. For dogs after injuries and fractures, rehabilitation after a fracture is relevant, and after interventions on the ligaments, a gradual increase in loads is required.

The program may include physiotherapy for animals, exercises and exercise therapy for dogs after surgery. The rehabilitation specialist monitors the technique of execution and explains to the owner how to organize the regimen at home. If recovery after ligament surgery or return of mobility after a complex injury is required, please check with the administrator for details.

Orthopedic devices – joint support and protection during recovery

Sometimes additional devices are needed for stabilization and comfort. We select orthopedic devices for animals - taking into account weight, breed, activity and diagnosis. These can be orthoses or a paw bandage, which help reduce the load and protect the joint during the healing period.

Such solutions are especially useful at the stage of returning to walks, when the animal already wants to run, and the tissues still need time. We suggest how to use the product correctly and what to pay attention to so that it helps, not hinders.

Safety during orthopedic surgeries – anesthesia and monitoring

When surgery is required, the owner’s first question is whether it is safe. To choose a safe anesthesia for the animal, we assess the heart condition, general indicators, plan anesthesia and monitor the patient during the operation. Monitoring the animal during the operation is important in the process so that the team can quickly respond to any changes.

Orthopedic procedures usually require precision and time, so anesthesia support is a key element. We explain how the awakening will take place, what will be the norm, and what symptoms require treatment. Please clarify the details with the administrator.
