Surgical Treatment Methods of Hip Joint Dysplasia in Dogs

Abstract

HD is a complex, multifactorial genetic disease characterized by maldevelopment of the hip joint leading to instability, subluxated or completely luxated hip joints and ultimately osteoarthritis. This thesis deals with the various common surgical treatment methods available in veterinary medicine. Four main procedures are compared in this thesis. JPS can improve joint congruity and laxity and slow or prevent the progression of degenerative hip joint disease, taking into account a careful selection of patients, especially the age of the animal [1]. In contrast to other surgical treatment methods, this technically simple procedure is associated with few complications.
