Abstract
Hip dislocation (coxofemoral luxation) is the
second most common luxation in cattle and
buffaloes. Though the condition occurs in all age
groups, it is most frequent in 2 to 5 years old animals.
The inherent instability of the hip joint in bovine due
to shallowness of the acetabulum, the lack of
prominence of the acetabular ring, presence of
notches at its margin, small articular head of the
femur and under development of supporting
ligamentous structures of the joint predispose these
animals to hip luxation (Singh and Tayal, 2002). Hip
dislocation is associated with traumatic episodes and
dystocia in adult cattle and falling in calves
(Ducharme and Trostle, 2004). The luxation is
generally craniodorsal, but cranioventral luxation or
luxation in the adductor foramen is also seen
(Tulleners and Nunamaker, 1987). Extra capsular
stabilization is technique used for the treatment of
chronic luxation in canines when there is no joint
capsule available for capsulorraphy.
