Orthopedics is the study of diseases of the musculoskeletal system
At our orthopedic clinic, we receive patients with problems from the musculoskeletal system. Many patients are referred here from other veterinarians due to conditions that is difficult to diagnose or that requires advanced treatment. We have a very high level of expertise in the field of orthopedics. Several of our skilled employees have undergone further training and many of the veterinarians have extensive experience and routine in various problems of the musculoskeletal system.
UDS has very high-quality arthroscopy equipment, which means that our surgeons can perform arthroscopies of very high quality (looking inside the joint through a very small opening). For the best prognosis and end result, an orthopedic procedure must be followed by an individually developed rehabilitation plan. Our orthopedic patients are followed up in close collaboration with our rehabilitation department and physiotherapist Kjerstin Pettersson.
