Abstract

|
Luxation of the hip is the most common luxation seen in small animals. Luxations are classified by the direction in which the femoral head lies in relation to the acetabulum and craniodorsal luxations are the most common type. Recommendations for treatment are based on the presence of preexisting disease, the type and duration of luxation and severity of concurrent injuries. In this study modified external skeletal fixation was used for craniodorsal coxofemoral luxation in 5 dogs. Luxated head Joint was reduced and fixator pins were applied into the greater trochanter, the middle point of iliac body and the lateral surface of sacroiliac joint in a closed fashion. Reduction was successful in 4 of the 5 operated limbs. Complications noted in this study included pin tract drainage, pin loosening and secondary fracture at the pin insertion site.
