Femoral head dislocation - BlueSAO biological total hip replacement surgery

Breed: Border Collie, Weight: 25 kg, Age: 7 years, Sex: Male.

This is a slightly overweight middle-aged Border Collie. He was unfortunately involved in a car accident, which resulted in a dislocation of his right femur, as well as an inability to walk. He was referred to our hospital from another hospital for treatment. The best treatment option for hip disease is, of course, hip replacement surgery. Even more unfortunately, during our pre-operative examination, we found that the dog's left femoral head was also dislocated. This is a double whammy for the dog!

In cases of bilateral hip dislocation, the demands and difficulties of care increase accordingly. We all know that treating a disease is thirty percent dependent on treatment and seventy percent dependent on care. After hip replacement surgery on the right side, weight bearing on the left side is not good either. If you are not careful, complications can easily occur on the right side of the hip. This case was certainly a challenging one for our colleagues on the inpatient unit.

After calibration on the iBlueVet orthopedic planning system according to Marker, the appropriate femoral stem prosthesis and acetabular cup prosthesis were selected. Preoperative planning was performed using a #6 biological femoral stem with 18mm lateral bolt and a 22mm biological acetabular cup. Prepare +0, +3 and +6 13mm femoral head prostheses. Intraoperative testing with a femoral head prosthesis model will be used before deciding on the final femoral head prosthesis.

Planned implants: #6 biotype femoral stem, 18mm lateral bolt, 22mm biotype acetabular cup. +0, +3 or +6 13mm femoral head prosthesis.
