Retrospective Analysis of Canine Miniature Total Hip Prostheses

Abstract

Miniature THR is a viable treatment option in medium-size dogs with hip dysplasia.

Modified cementless total coxofemoral prosthesis: development, implantation and clinical evaluation

“…We encountered a 30% complication rate, which was considered high. Even though this result was similar to a few reports (Olmstead et al;Warnock et al, 2003), it is possible that these results were affected by the experience of the surgeon (Olmstead, 1995).…”

“…More accurate methods like scintilographic and Doppler ultrasound studies would be more appropriate to establish the diagnosis in these cases (Liska and Poteet, 2003). Luxation is a common complication related to this technique (Olmstead et al, 1983;DeYoung et al, 1992;Olmstead, 1995;Marcellin-Little, 1999;Warnock et al, 2003), however we did not observe this complication. Both correct orientation of the components and its use in normal dogs could have led to the absence of this complication in this study.…”

“…Caudal stem positioning was probably obtained due to several reasons. First, there was lack of coupling between stem geometry and canine proximal femur morphology, so that the stem was forced into this position Warnock et al, 2003;Dearmin and Schulz, 2004). Second, using normal animals (without orthopedic alterations) with normal glutteal muscle mass might have led to difficult muscle retraction and Arq.…”

Artroplastia total coxofemoral em cães: Estudo experimental com prótese nacional

“…Os resultados encontrados condizem com os relatados na literatura consultada (LEWIS & JONES, 1980;MONTGOMERY et al, 1992;DENNY, 1993;WARNOCK et al, 2003). Entretanto, cabe mencionar que ainda não se possui ampla experiência cirúrgica e o estabelecimento logístico de aplicação que se observa nos países desenvolvidos e/ou nas instituições referidas.…”

Femoral head and neck excision in cats: medium- to long-term functional outcome in 18 cats

“…4 Some of the reported complications of micro-and nano-THRs are luxation of the coxofemoral joint (10-20%), penetration of medial acetabular cortical wall (62%), penetration or fissuring of the femoral cortex (4-18%), post-THR medial patellar luxation needing surgical correction (6-12%), delayed postoperative femoral fracture (3%), acetabular cup loosening, sciatic neurapraxia (1%) and distal femoral medullary canal infarction. 4,11,12,[22][23][24] Some of these complications necessitated additional surgeries for the resolution. According to one study, 18% of micro-THR joints required additional surgeries as a consequence of intra-and postoperative complications.…”
