Combined with DR imaging, she was diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the right femoral head. The pet owner chose the hip replacement surgery for her.

The surgical team at Hengjia Animal Hospital used BlueSAO cemented Micro&Nano hip system for treatment. Implants used were: 2 cemented femoral stem, 12mm cemented cup and 8mm+0 femoral head. The surgery went smoothly and recovery was ideal after the surgery！
