Canine hip dysplasia is an affection which affects the locomotion of the animal very clear and severe. Genetical factors and others (miopathy, painful diseases associated with canine hip dysplasia, neuronal disfunction, exaggerated elasticity of the pectineu muscle) are known to be the cause of the disease. We could also blame the feeding habits for growing puppies. During the growth period, an excess in fatty food can cause a beginning for canine hip dysplasia and other bone diseases. It is know that canine hip dysplasia affects most of the time large breed dogs. In our study we wanted to check the ef icacy of the triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) operation in unilateral canine hip dysplasia grades 3 and 4. We took 5 dog breeds into consideration, with different gender and age, varying from 6 months to 1,3 years. The diagnostic was made observing the clinical signs and X ray indings. For the stabilization of the cut bone segment we used speci ic plates for osteosynthesis with different angles. Post operation, dogs were followed for 10 days and checked for their vital signs as well as local modi ications and started using the affected limb 11 days after the operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
