A Cat, name: He Tao, 1 year old, male (castrated), 4.5kg.

One of the legs had THR surgery and was just recovering. The other leg went into trouble. Salter-harris type I femoral growth plate fracture in a cat, also known as slipped capital femoral epiphysis. The cat had lameness and pain in the affected limb. It was decided to perform a hip replacement surgery using BlueSAO cemented Micro&Nano Hip System for replacement during the surgery. Implants: a 12mm cemented cup, a #3 cemented femoral stem, an 8mm (+0) femoral head and antibiotic bone cement. The surgery was successful and we look forward to its speedy recovery!
