Cemented Total Hip Arthroplasty In Dogs

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an excellent salvage procedure for debilitating conditions that included osteoarthritis, hip luxation, femoral head and neck fracture and revision of femoral head ostectomy providing excellent hip joint function. Six dogs with clinical condition of hip dysplasia with luxation (three), severe osteoarthritis (two) and hip luxation (one) weighing 30 kg b.wt were subjected for THA. The animals were premedicated with glycopyrrolate @ 0.002 mg/kg body weight and 20 minutes later xylazine hydrochloride @ 1 mg/kg body weight i/m and anesthesia was induced with propofol @ 5 mg / kg b.wt i/v and maintained under isoflurane anaesthesia. The animals were preoxygenated 20 minutes prior to surgery with particular considering bone cement implantation syndrome. THA was performed through craniolateral approach of thigh. Indigenously designed stainless steel 316 L modular hip prosthesis to suit the canine femur of four different sizes viz. size- 5 -9, with the head sizes of +0 or +3 and the acetabular cup made of UHMWPE in the size ranged from 20 to 25 mm outer diameter with radio opaque wire for defining the lateral angle of the cup was used.
