Veterinary Orthopedic & Sports Medicine

At Veterinary Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Group, we provide rehabilitation and integrative medicine to dogs and cats in Maryland, DC, Delaware, and Northern Virginia. Our specialties include orthopedic, sports medicine, and rehabilitation services.  VOSM treats thousands of orthopedic patients every year, more than a third of them coming to us from other states and abroad. Our specialists are actively engaged in teaching, clinical research, lecturing, publishing, and instructing other board-certified surgeons. That’s one of the reasons VOSM is the place veterinarians bring their own pets for advanced orthopedic care. It’s also why VOSM receives challenging cases from other specialists, and has been entrusted with fixing highly skilled working, performance, and sporting dogs from around the globe. VOSM was one of the first canine orthopedic sub-specialty groups in the world. The doctors at VOSM are even further sub-specialized into the disciplines of sports medicine, joint replacement, trauma, juvenile orthopedic conditions, regenerative medicine, and orthopedic surgical oncology, as well as conservative medical management and rehabilitation treatments for osteoarthritis and soft tissue injuries. VOSM is the world's first and only veterinary sub-specialty group concentrating on canine sports medicine. The doctors at VOSM have a strong understanding of the activities performed by and injuries occurring in working and performance dogs. They also understand not only the need to accurately diagnose and treat working and sporting injuries, but the requirements of returning these athletes back to full performance.

Our Veterinary Services

Our community’s outstanding orthopedic veterinarians and surgeons use breakthrough research within the field to implement advanced therapies, such as CrCL surgeries like TPLO surgery, fracture repair, and innovative devices. These are all designed to help improve or conserve your pet’s mobility following traumatic accident, illness, or age-related condition.  

Pet owners commonly refer to CrCL surgery as an ACL surgery, however CrCL surgery is the medically accurate term. ACL surgery is the human equivalent treatment.

A common form of cruciate or knee surgery is TPLO surgery. Your pet’s orthopedic veterinarian will be able to help decide which type of CrCL surgery is ideal for your pet. It's important to note that these surgeries are commonly referred to by pet owners as ACL surgery, however CrCL surgery is the medically accurate term. ACL surgery is the human equivalent treatment.

TPLO surgery changes the angle between the thigh bone and the shin bone. The goal is to lessen how much the tibia shifts forward during a stride and it is achieved through an incision, rotation of the tibia, and then insertion of a bone plate. TPLO surgery helps create a stifle (knee) that is stable without the torn cruciate ligament. The medial meniscus is also evaluated at the time of surgery and if torn removed. At times, a releasing incision of the meniscus is done to help prevent a future tear.

Just as humans can benefit from physical therapy when training for a game or race, our pet’s naturally athletic bodies can also be maintained and repaired through similar therapeutic exercises. Veterinary sports medicine includes both medical and/or surgical treatment for orthopedic injuries and preventative therapies to support the mobility, strength, and flexibility of active animals.

Veterinary rehabilitation is an ever-growing field of medicine focused on helping animals that require additional support with recovery, mobility, pain management, or physical therapy Unique treatment plans are built around the patient’s needs and the client’s goals. Through comprehensive, integrative therapies, our rehabilitation teams work to help improve your pet’s quality of life.

Radiology encompasses a diverse range of diagnostic imaging including X-ray and ultrasound. We utilize the most up-to-date, cutting-edge technology operated by specially trained veterinary professionals.

Our Veterinary Radiologists have additional education, training, and experience in the field, enabling them to work seamlessly with primary, specialty, and emergency care clinicians to provide advanced image interpretation on acute and complex medical cases.

Stem Cell and Protein Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapies are innovative forms of non-surgical regenerative (restorative) treatments that use the body's own healing abilities to help treat injury and disease in pets. These safe and effective treatments have been shown to help pets suffering from a wide variety of conditions ranging from osteoarthritis to soft tissue injuries.
