  • Title: [Practical experience with the triple pelvic osteotomy as treatment of hip instability in young dogs].
    Author: Crama K.
    Journal: Tijdschr Diergeneeskd; 1988 Nov 01; 113(21):1181-8. PubMed ID: 3187972.
    Abstract:
    Experience with triple pelvic osteotomy in twenty instable hip joints in thirteen young dogs, is reported in the present paper. A few years' follow-up showed that arthrosis may be reduced or even completely arrested by stabilising the hip joint and increasing the load-bearing articular surface. Indications for this operation can still be improved, as many dogs with coxarthrosis diagnosed by X-ray and caused by chronic subluxation are found to have adequately functioning hip joints. Preventive measures in the developmental stage of the hip joint should precede any decision to operate!
