Veterinary Orthopedic Surgery in Houston, TX | 2525 Sunset Veterinarians
Orthopedic problems like knee injuries and fractures can be life-changing for pets, but they don’t have to be. At 2525 Sunset Veterinarians, Dr. Paul Young and our experienced surgical team provide advanced veterinary orthopedic surgery in Houston, including TPLO, TightRope, and fracture repairs. Our goal is to restore mobility, relieve pain, and help dogs return to their active, joyful lives.
Fracture Repair and Advanced Orthopedic Care
From accidents to congenital issues, broken bones require precision repair. Dr. Young has performed complex fracture surgeries using plates, rods, and pins, with results that have restored full function for pets once facing amputation. Reviews from our clients speak to both the skill and the compassionate approach our team takes through these difficult recoveries.
Orthopedic surgery also includes procedures such as corrective osteotomies and, when necessary, amputation. Each case is evaluated individually to determine the safest, most effective path forward for your pet.
Expertise in Canine Knee Surgery
One of the most common orthopedic conditions we see is cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears — the canine equivalent of an ACL injury in people. These injuries often require surgery for lasting results, and our Houston clinic offers two leading procedures:
- TPLO surgery for dogs – Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy changes the dynamics of the knee joint, reducing stress on the ligament and restoring stability. TPLO is ideal for larger, athletic dogs.
- TightRope surgery for dogs – This minimally invasive technique stabilizes the knee with a durable suture, which is often best suited for smaller or medium-sized dogs.
In addition to these, we also perform MPL (medial patellar luxation) surgery and a range of stabilization techniques to address different types of knee injuries.
Integrated Care and Pain Management
Orthopedic surgery is only the first step. Recovery and rehabilitation are critical to long-term success. That’s why our team incorporates:
- Comprehensive diagnostics and labwork before surgery to ensure safe anesthesia and planning
- Advanced pet pain management and cold laser therapy for faster healing and mobility restoration
- Close post-operative monitoring and follow-up visits tailored to each patient’s needs
Our concierge-style approach ensures your pet is supported at every stage — from diagnosis to recovery — through client education and close partnership with pet parents throughout their pet’s recovery journey.
Comprehensive Surgical Care Under One Roof
In addition to orthopedic procedures, our team also performs a full range of pet surgical services, from soft tissue repairs to complex abdominal surgeries and oral surgery. Many pets benefit from our team’s combined expertise, allowing us to handle multiple needs under one roof with less stress and fewer referrals.

Families across Rice Village, West University, Bellaire, and Southside Place trust 2525 Sunset Veterinarians when their pets need advanced surgery. Many come to us after other clinics recommended amputation, only to find that Dr. Young could perform the repairs needed to save a limb.
