Overview
A dog that will not bear weight after a fall on icy steps, a collision on the trail, or a road accident needs radiographs before anything else. The X-ray decides what follows: whether the fracture is stable or displaced, whether it can be aligned without opening the site, and which fixation will hold while it heals.
Our repairs use dynamic compression plating (DCP and LC-DCP), intramedullary pinning with Kirschner wires, or external fixation for complex cases where internal hardware is not the safest choice. Stainless steel cortical screws secure the plate, and orthogonal recheck radiographs confirm callus formation before your dog is cleared for normal activity.
This service is limited to traumatic bone fractures. We do not perform elective orthopedic procedures such as TPLO, cruciate repair, or patellar luxation correction. Cruciate tears are common among active dogs on local trails, and if that is what your dog has, we will tell you plainly and point you to a surgeon who does that work routinely.
Fracture repair starts at $1,800. The final figure depends on the fracture pattern, the implants needed, and the imaging involved, all confirmed in a written estimate before surgery.

Review 01
“Our Lab got into a bag of corn cobs after a backyard cookout in Sharpley. They had him in surgery the next morning, and the monitoring and bloodwork were explained before we signed anything.”

Review 02
“Our 11-year-old golden had a lump on her flank that kept growing. The quote was less than half what the big hospital wanted, and the incision healed so neatly you can barely find it.”

Review 03
“Bladder stones in our schnauzer, and a six-week wait elsewhere. We had a date within the week, the stone analysis was quoted up front, and she has been on her new diet ever since.”

Family FAQ
Canine Fracture & Orthopedic Repair questions
01Does every dog fracture need surgery?
No. Some stable, non-displaced fractures heal in a splint or cast with strict rest. Displaced, comminuted, or joint-involving fractures need surgical fixation to heal in the correct position. Radiographs show which one you are dealing with.
02How much does dog fracture surgery cost in Talleyville?
From around $1,800. The main variables are the complexity of the fracture, the hardware required, and the number of recheck radiographs.
03How long does a dog fracture take to heal?
Usually 6 to 12 weeks, faster in young dogs and slower in older ones. Recheck radiographs confirm callus formation before restrictions are lifted.
04Pin or plate: which is better for my dog?
It depends on the bone and the fracture pattern. Plates give rigid stability for long-bone fractures under load, while intramedullary pins and K-wires suit some patterns better. We choose the most stable option for your dog's specific break.
05Will my dog walk normally again?
Most traumatic fractures that are repaired promptly and rested properly heal to full function. The biggest risk to a good outcome is activity too soon, which is why the rest instructions are strict.
06Do you perform TPLO or cruciate surgery?
No. Our orthopedic scope is traumatic bone fracture repair only. We do not perform TPLO, cruciate repair, or patellar luxation correction, and we will help you find someone who does.
