At Town & Country Veterinary Clinic in Marinette, WI, we incorporate comprehensive surgical care into our services to support your pet’s lifelong mobility.

Comprehensive Orthopedic Care Tailored to Your Pet
Our team, led by Dr. Kurt, specializes in a variety of orthopedic procedures to address the unique needs of our patients.
Among the most sought-after treatments we offer are Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA) and Lateral Suture Repair, two effective surgical options for treating cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture in dogs. TTA is best suited for medium to large-breed, active dogs, as it alters the biomechanics of the knee by advancing the tibial tuberosity, providing strong long-term stability and promoting a smooth recovery.
Lateral Suture Repair, also known as extracapsular repair, is a less invasive option ideal for small to medium-breed or less active dogs. It stabilizes the joint using a synthetic suture to mimic the function of the CCL, allowing for a gradual return to normal activity.
Both procedures offer excellent outcomes when appropriately selected based on the patient’s size, activity level, and overall health. Contact us today to discuss the best surgical approach for your patient.

When to Consider Orthopedic Surgery
If your pet shows signs of limping, difficulty rising, reluctance to play or climb stairs, or visible pain in its joints, it may benefit from an orthopedic evaluation. Conditions like cranial cruciate ligament injuries, fractures, or chronic joint issues often require surgical intervention to restore function and comfort. Early diagnosis and therapy are crucial for the best recovery.
