Carpal Brace
The Pet Ortho Braces Carpal Brace stabilizes a dog’s lower front leg at the ‘wrist.’
An orthotic carpal brace is used on the dog’s limb to provide support, in addition to controlling the range of motion and providing stability and pain relief.
Injuries to these joints can result from either acute trauma or activities that cause a sudden, repetitive sprain to the ligaments surrounding them.
Range of motion joints can be added to allow for motion while stabilizing the affected area.
Common Conditions Treated with Carpal Braces
- Carpal hyperextension
- Carpal instability
- Carpal contractures

Evaluation and Treatment Plans
Evaluation
Our certified clinicians work with pet owners and veterinarians to understand the underlying condition and recommended treatment. If your pet has already been evaluated, please contact us or we can provide an overview before you see the veterinarian.
Custom Fabrication
Each animal has unique anatomy, so each orthotic and prosthetic device is custom molded and fabricated to your pet, ensuring the best outcome during the healing process. Our team has 20+ years experience designing custom prosthetics and orthotics.
Fitting & Adjustments
Once fabrication is complete, your pet will be fit with their brace or device. We’ll make sure it has proper fit and function to achieve the desired outcome. We’ll provide instructions and test the device on your pet, making sure the animal moves appropriately while healing.
Ongoing Treatment
Our treatment protocol includes follow up appointments during the 14 week healing process to make any adjustments needed. We work closely with veterinarians, make adjustments as needed and can do follow ups at our clinic or your vet’s office in the Phoenix area.

“We HIGHLY recommend Pet Ortho Braces! Our girl, Kiva, was missing a paw when we adopted her at 2 years old. We received a recommendation to see David in Scottsdale to get her a new prosthetic to give her “4 wheel drive”.“
