 Whether they develop early in life or late, orthopedic disorders can cause significant pain, dysfunction, and decreased QOL for our veterinary patients, as well as significant financial, logistical, and emotional distress for our clients.

 Across the board, serious orthopedic disorders are going undiagnosed and therefore untreated and managed, often to the detriment of our patients, clients, and even our own businesses.

 Proactive education, screening, and appropriate interventions should be the standard of care, as they benefit all stakeholders (patients, clients, and practices).

 Radiography isn't the only method available for orthopedic disease screening in veterinary patients.

 Take advantage of any sedated or anesthetized pets to do additional screening for orthopedic conditions, with owner consent.
