Hip

Asymmetrical hip conformation may be the sequela of a LTV and mask or aggravate genetically induced canine hip dysplasia

OBJECTIVES: A very limited safe anatomical window for transiliosacral implant placement exists in cats (<0·5 cm 2 ). Lag screw fixation requires multiple bilateral implants thus increasing the risk of iatrogenic trauma and implant interference. We describe a safe and effective method for bilateral sacroiliac fixation in cats using a single implant to minimise inadvertent iatrogenic damage to local structures and restore pelvic canal diameter.

Femoral head ostectomy, as described for dogs, provided a favorable outcome in this species.

The use of intra-operative radiology can significantly improve the quality of lag screw insertion for the stabilization of sacroiliac luxations in cats

A possible successful option to provide immediate stem stability for revision of a loosened BFX stem with a properly osseointegrated cup

Regional periprosthetic acetabular bone grayscale value varies with the design of THA.

assessment of inter- and intra-observer measurement of ALO and version angle was more reproducible using CT images

A successful procedure in a case of multi-drug resistant periprosthetic infection

The procedure allowed some improvement of coxofemoral joint conformation in large breed canine cadavers

Use of pain assessment scales to measure lameness did not have great accuracy and concordance when compared with quantitative force platform gait analysis
