Orthopedic surgery in companion animals has experienced remarkable advancements, closely mirroring innovations in human medicine. With the increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders such as cranial cruciate ligament rupture, hip dysplasia, and complex fractures in pets, veterinary orthopedic interventions are evolving to meet clinical demands. This review explores current trends shaping the field, including minimally invasive surgical techniques, the widespread adoption of Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO), and the integration of advanced technologies such as 3D printing for custom implants. The role of regenerative medicine—utilizing platelet-rich plasma, stem cells, and other biologics—is also examined for its potential in enhancing healing and managing degenerative joint diseases. Additionally, we highlight the importance of postoperative rehabilitation strategies, including hydrotherapy and structured physical therapy, in improving recovery outcomes. These developments collectively represent a shift toward more precise, patient-specific, and holistic orthopedic care in veterinary practice, ultimately contributing to improved mobility and quality of life for companion animals.
