THR Surgery of Femoral Head Fracture in an American Shorthair Cat — Dr. Niu Jinbo from Jingrui (Beijing) Veterinary Hospital

An American shorthair cat, 1.5 years old, male, 6Kg.

Medical history: the cat was suffered from a growth plate fracture of the femoral head in the left hind limb (intracapsular fracture) as a result of an accidental fall and lost its normal motor function. After a detailed preoperative diagnosis and planning, we decided to perform a THR surgery.

Accurate preoperative planning was made by BlueSAO iBlueVet.We did the THR surgery by using a φ10mm cemented cup and a 3# φ6mm (+5) head and stem integrated cemented prosthesis of BlueSAO Nano Hip Replacement System for his total hip replacement. The surgery was successfully completed within 1 hour and 25 minutes. Best wishes for an early recovery.

To the Jingrui (Beijing) team who went all out!

Thanks to Dr. Niu Jinbo (Jingrui (Beijing) Veterinary Hospital and Henuan (Beijing) Veterinary Hospital) for sharing the clinical case of BlueSAO Nano hip system.
