How Nexus Can Help

At Nexus Veterinary Specialists, our mission is simple. We work with your family veterinarian to ensure your pets receive the best care possible. While your family vet handles your pet’s primary health concerns, our veterinary specialists provide many forms of care to assist in maximizing your pet’s health and quality of life.

Cranial Cruciate Surgery: TPLO, CBLO, Extra Capsular Repair

Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) damage occurs frequently. The TPLO and CBLO are surgical procedures used to stabilize the knee with a very high success rate. Extra-capsular repair techniques may be recommended in unique situations.

Minimally-Invasive Fracture Repair

Broken bones occur for various reasons. The Nexus goal is to utilize minimally invasive surgical techniques to allow bones to heal quickly and allow patients to get back to enjoying life.

Arthroscopy: Shoulder, Elbow, Carpus, Hip, Stifle, Tarsus

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive way to evaluate and treat joint problems. It involves taking a small camera and placing it into the joint where the superior magnification allows diagnosing and treating joint problems. The Nexus team has the only mobile service in the region to allow for arthroscopic procedures.

Arthrodesis

Some dogs and cats will suffer severe trauma to a joint or could develop a severe joint disease that leaves them with pain and discomfort. Arthrodesis is the fusion of a joint. In particular dogs and cats can have a great quality of life following fusion of some joints such as the carpus (wrist) or tarsus (ankle). The Nexus board-certified Surgeons have experience in arthrodesis and try to perform these procedures in minimally invasive ways.

Meniscal Surgery

Meniscal tears can be a source of knee pain and can occur at the time of cranial cruciate ligament damage or following knee surgery. The Nexus board-certified Surgeons can utilize minimally invasive techniques such as arthroscopy to address meniscal damage.

Corrective Osteotomy for Limb Deformity

An angular limb deformity (a “crooked” leg) can occur for a number of reasons. This can lead to pain and a poor quality of life not to mention negative impacts on the joints. The Nexus board-certified Surgeons have extensive experience in correcting angular limb deformities.

Patellar Luxation

Patella luxation or “slipping knee-caps” are a developmental orthopedic condition in dogs and cats. It can lead to pain, limb dysfunction, and osteoarthritis. The Nexus board certified surgeons are able to address patella luxation’s by using several different strategies to improve quality of life and ensure a pain free return to function.

Joint Replacement: Hip, Elbow, Stifle, Tarsus

Joint replacements are common in people for various reasons. A joint replacement in a dog or cat can prevent or end years of suffering from joint pain. The Nexus team will perform hip replacements at select practices. Other joint replacement surgeries will take place inside the Nexus Veterinary Bone & Joint Center, which will be on the only veterinary specialty center on the East Coast to offer joint replacements of the elbow, stifle, and tarsus (ankle).
