“…In equids, failure of orthopaedic equipment leading to recurrence of the coxofemoral luxation is common (Trotter et al 1986;Malark et al 1992;Gracia Calvo et al 2011). Moreover, total hip arthroplasty using prostheses developed for humans is associated with death due to pulmonary fat embolism syndrome in the early post-operative period (Garc ıa-L opez 2010; Huggons et al 2010;Grant 2011). However, some successful repairs associated with long-term soundness have been reported with combined procedures (Garc ıa-L opez et al 2001) and the prosthetic capsule technique (Kuemmerle and F€ urst 2011) but only in horses weighing less than 115 kg.…”

Summary A 233 kg, 4‐year‐old Welsh pony stallion presented with a unilateral coxofemoral luxation and a history of previous upward fixation of the patella. This condition was surgically managed by femoral head ostectomy using a craniodorsal approach to the luxated coxofemoral joint, without greater trochanteric osteotomy. Immediate improvement in weightbearing was observed after surgery and primary intention healing was recorded. Long‐term outcome, 4 years after surgery, was assessed by radiographic, ultrasonographic and lameness examination. The pony was in good body condition and the initial weight of this patient was restored. Despite fetlock hyperlaxity of the contralateral hindlimb, amyotrophy and mechanical lameness of the affected hindlimb, the pony showed evident comfort without apparent signs of pain and was able to trot and gallop. Bone callus was observed at imaging examination.
