Orthopedic Surgery Vet: Imaging That Guides Better Surgery

Accurate pictures mean accurate plans. An orthopedic surgery vet uses radiographs for alignment and arthritis scoring, ultrasound for soft-tissue checks, and CT for complex 3D anatomy—like elbow fragments or TPLO angle calculations. Families choose Vet Playas for same-day imaging and fast reads that keep momentum going.

When CT changes everything

Near-joint fractures, chronic elbow pain, and tumor mapping are just a few scenarios where CT prevents surprises in the OR—and surprises are what prolong anesthesia and recovery.

From pixels to plan

1. Capture diagnostic-quality images (proper positioning matters!).
2. Measure, template, and select implants or approaches.
3. Execute the plan and verify with intra-/post-operative views.

Conclusion

Imaging isn’t “extra”—it’s the blueprint. With the right views and careful measurements, your orthopedic surgery vet can shorten anesthesia time, reduce complications, and speed recovery. Get the picture right first, and the rest follows.
