Anderson Sturgess is a leading Specialist referral centre for cats and dogs. The Orthopaedic Service is managed by Andy Moores, who is certified by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons as a Specialist in Small Animal Orthopaedics and by the European Board of Veterinary Specialisation as a Specialist in Small Animal Surgery. Few surgeons in the UK can claim to have this dual Specialist recognition. We are also one of the few private referral centres in the UK approved to run an ECVS surgical training programme (or residency).
We are committed to providing your pet with the very best surgical care and at a reasonable price.
We are happy to see all orthopaedic/spinal referrals, from the routine to the complex, including:
- Musculoskeletal trauma (fractures, luxations)
- Cruciate disease cases, for TPLO or lateral suture stabilisation
- Total hip replacement
- Arthroscopic ('key hole') investigation of joint disease
- Spinal surgery for intervertebral disc disease
- Investigation of occult lameness
- Patellar luxation surgery
- Staging and management of osteosarcoma and other bone tumours
- Advanced imaging (CT/MRI) of orthopaedic/spinal disease
Being a multidisciplinary centre we are particularly well set-up to manage orthopaedic trauma patients, who may have multisystemic injuries and require the input of our medics/imagers/soft tissue surgeons as well as management of their orthopaedic injury/injuries.

From May 2010 we are pleased to announce a fixed price fee for TPLO surgeries to help you budget for your dog's cruciate surgery. Further details are in the TPLO section (link on the left of the page).
