OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of application, and identify complications, of the 2nd generation of Zurich Cementless Total Hip Replacement (ZCTHR). STUDY DESIGN Case series. ANIMALS Client-owned dogs (n=60) that had ZCTHR (n=65). METHODS Dogs with ZCTHR (2001-2003) with a minimum follow-up > or =6 months were evaluated. Data included signalment, cup position, longest follow-up, compli...

A five-year-old, spayed female mixed breed (38 kg) dog was referred for total hip replacement for an intermittently non-weight bearing lameness of the left hind limb. Radiographs and computed tomography suggested proliferative, osteolytic pathology of the left coxofemoral joint. Using arthroscopic exploration and biopsy, septic arthritis and osteomyelitis in the left coxofemoral joint were diag...

Case Description- Twenty four cases of dogs and cats were presented for inability to move and/or getting up one of the legs while walking and leaning on the other.Clinical Findings-Physical and radiographic examinations revealed that the patients had coxofemoral luxation, hip dysplasia, comminuted acetabular fracture, avascular necrosis of femoral head and/or femur head fracture.Tre...

Lateral luxation of the patella has been described in horses and ponies. Medial luxation has been reported only twice. Upward fixation of the patella is not true luxation. This report concerns two cases of lateral luxation of the patella related to hypoplasia of the lateral ridge of the trochlea of the femur.

Case Description- Two foals were referred for lameness evaluation. Case 1 was an 8-month-old male KWPN foal and the second one was a 2-day-old female Arabian foal. Clinical Findings- The KWPN foal was presented with severe lameness at walk and the second foal was unable to stand. In both patients luxation of the patella was confirmed on physical and radiological examinations. Treatment and Outc...

Spontaneous forward luxation at the atlanto-axial level is a well-known and common complication of rheumatoid arthritis. The distance between the articular surface of the odontoid process of the axis and the corresponding articular surface of the atlas should not normally exceed 3 mm. in adults; a larger distance indicates luxation. Conlon, Isdale. and Rose (1966) found luxation between atlas a...

Medial patellar luxation is defined as medial displacement of the patella from the trochlear groove. In dogs, medial luxations account for 75% of all patellar luxation cases, and are frequently associated with patella alta. Common surgical treatments for medial luxation are trochleoplasty and lateral transposition of the crest to drive the patella into the correct anatomical alignment. Postoper...
