Hip

A promising safe and technically simple treatment procedure for feline hip dysplasia

A high rate, with the majority of complications occur intra-operatively or perioperatively

A potential cause of ipsilateral hindlimb lameness, intra-pelvic abdominal tumours, or a combination of both

If zero femoral elevation can be achieved for radiography, the lateral distal femoral angle measurements do not vary much with mild femoral rotation (±5°)

Outcomes suggested beneficial effects of RSWT in dogs with hip osteoarthritis

Addition of a stabilizing bolt enhanced construct stability and limited subsidence of a BFX(®) femoral stem

The reported incidence of hip dysplasia in cats varies dramatically between studies, but the condition is likely more common than we realise

The iliac horizontal diameter is the recommended variable and maximum obturator foramen width is an acceptable variable in order to evaluate slight pelvic rotation

The procedure should be considered for the treatment of dogs with bone tumors confined to the ischium

The position of a stable stem can appear different on subsequent re-evaluations, but this may be due to variability associated with inconsistency of positioning of the patient and limb
