Hip

Arthroscopic evaluation of the coxofemoral joint prior to DPO can allow detection of joint pathology that might not be appreciated by using traditional radiographic screening criteria.

Peak failure loads (compressive and torsional) in this study were approximately four to seven times the simulated gait loading.

The cultivation of ASCs in PL gel resulted in maintenance of proliferation level similar to the conventional 2D cultivation.

Comprehensive, quantitative assessment of dogs suffering from hip osteoarthritis across a range of physical activities is recommended.

The hybrid THA did not prove to have greater clinical benefits for use in primary THA surgery.

Recognition and incidence of postoperative polar gaps after THR may vary among surgeons. Gaps do not warrant clinical intervention.

This finding suggests that this simple, minimally invasive diagnostic technique has potential for discriminating dysplastic dogs from dogs with normal hips.

The device significantly improved the surgeon's performance without surgical assistance.

These results, in combination with the previous results for the measurement of the laxity index, support the use of the VMBDD as a reliable in-house evaluation method to assess the hip joint by trained clinicians.

This technique may be appropriate in dogs with high ALO, luxoid hips, and prior failed revision attempts.
