Modified Knowles toggle pin technique with nylon monofilament suture material for treatment of two caudoventral hip luxation cases

Abstract: The coxofemoral joint is the most commonly luxated joint in dogs and cats. Coxofemoral luxations are generally craniodorsal; caudoventral coxofemoral luxations are relatively rare occurrences and may be accompanied by fracture of the greater trochanter. The aim of our study was to report the results of a modified Knowles toggle pin application in two caudoventral hip luxations for which closed reduction had not been achieved. Medical records of dogs and cats, which had been presented at our institution between… Show more

“…We observed a 15% complication rate, which is similar to other studies using either the hip toggle stabilization technique with different or similar suture material (11-14%), 4,8,9 or different surgical techniques, such as trans articular pinning (15%) and iliofemoral sling (17%). 10,11 Although the difference in reluxation rate between the double loop FiberWire (1/12 cats) compared with the single strand (4/21 cats) was non-significant, this is likely to be a type II error. Therefore, we strongly recommend the use of two strands as safety is not compromised and outcomes might be improved.…”

“…Coxofemoral luxation (CFL) is the most common traumatic luxation in dogs [1][2][3]7,8,17,24] and open reduction is one of the treatment options [8,12,21]. Numerous surgical methods have been described, including capsulorrhaphy [5,22], transposition of the greater trochanter [10], De Vita pinning [4,23], tenodesis of the deep gluteal muscle [18], transarticular pinning [10], replacement of the femoral head ligament [1,4,16,23], excision arthroplasty [15,16] and iliotrochanteric suture [11,13,14,20,21,24].…”

“…Transarticular pinning was successful, even though it is indicated for recurrent luxation or in cases in which more conservative methods cannot be used (BENNETT & DUFF, 1980); the use of a toggle pin would have been another alternative and has been used successfully in the treatment of caudoventral hip luxations in small animals (ÇETINKAYA & OLCAY, 2010). The use of tape hobbles in the postoperative period was described in a dog after an open reduction of a caudoventral hip luxation and prevented excessive limb abduction during joint healing (VENZIN & MONTAVON, 2007).…”

“…Caudoventral hip luxation rarely occurs in dogs and cats (ÇETINKAYA & OLCAY, 2010). Although, the diagnosis can be based on clinical findings, radiographs are essential because treatment is determined according to the type and duration of the luxation and based on the presence of concomitant lesions or degenerative joint disease (MOORES, 2006).…”
