26 mar 2024 · The most effective surgical treatment for hip dysplasia in dogs is a total hip replacement. The surgeon replaces the entire joint with metal and plastic implants.
Canine Hip Dysplasia (CHD) is a condition that begins in dogs as they grow and results in instability or a loose fit (laxity) of the hip joint (Figure 1). The hip joint laxity is responsible for potential clinical signs (symptoms) of hip pain and limb dysfunction and progressive joint changes.
Physical rehabilitation, including therapeutic exercise, hydrotherapy, laser, and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) can be beneficial in managing hip dysplasia. Acupuncture, stem cell treatments, cannabinoids (CBD oils), and traditional Chinese medicine have all been used to treat hip dysplasia with varying results.
Surgical treatments include pectineal myotenectomy to reduce pain, triple pelvic osteotomy to prevent subluxation, pubic fusion to prevent subluxation, joint capsule denervation to reduce pain, dorsal acetabulum reinforcement to reduce subluxation, femoral head and neck resection to reduce arthritis, and total hip replacement for optimal ...
