What Causes Angular Limb Deformities in Pets?

Angular limb deformities often stem from growth plate injuries or asynchronous growth between paired bones (like the radius and ulna). These deformities are most common in the front limbs and can appear in puppies and young dogs, though cats and adult pets can also be affected. Left uncorrected, these deformities can put uneven stress on the joints, leading to arthritis and reduced quality of life.

Types of Surgical Correction for Angular Limb Deformities

When limb bowing or rotation affects long bone alignment, we may recommend one or more of the following procedures:

Collaborative Care, Focused on Outcomes

We understand how important it is for pets to move freely and without pain, and how distressing it can be for families when that’s no longer possible. That’s why we take a collaborative, hands-on approach to angular limb deformity correction, providing guidance and support through every phase of recovery.
