Orthopedic Surgery

Dr. Pedraza has many years or experience in orthopedics and offers advanced surgical techniques to provide the most comfort for his patients. He performs cruciate ligament repairs and fracture repairs with the use of titanium implants. Titanium implants are the best on the market and rarely need to be removed. Our surgical team has performed advanced procedures that have saved limbs for rescued patients with very severe fractured limbs. Dr. Pedraza has spent countless hours to ensure he has the best equipment and techniques to provide the best repair possible. Typically, patients of Dr. Pedraza begin using the operating limb in a few days.

Pain management for these procedures is the most important for Dr. Pedraza. Epidurals are given for all hind limb procedures that serves as a block for 24 hours. Nocita, which is another block, is given for each orthopedic surgery to provide comfort for patients for up to 72 hours. We also provide bone graft with every orthopedic procedure to speed up the healing process for each patient.
