Q

Describe the pathogenesis of hip dysplasia

A
  • abnormal development leads to laxity
  • capital ligament edema and thickening, increased joint fluid
  • capital ligament stretches
  • subluxation occurs with activity
  • force on the abnormal hip causes wear, which results in osteoarthritis

A
  • exercise intolerance
  • buny-hop gait
  • difficulty rising/stiff after rest

Q

Describe the Ortolani test

A
  • requires sedation
  • dorsal or lateral recumbency
  • one hand on stifle, one dorsal to pelvis
  • push stifle proximally to subluxate
  • slowly abduct stifle
  • palpable/audible clunk indicates a positive test

Q

What are the radiographic findings of a dog with hip dysplasia?

A
  • Morgan’s line: linear density between femoral head and greater trochanter
  • subluxation with < 50% acetabular coverage
  • coxa valga and thickening of femoral neck
  • flattening and sclerosis of femoral head

Q

How is a caudoventral coxofemoral luxation treated?

A
  • closed reduction
  • open reduction if needed
  • general anesthesia needed
17
Q

What needs to be done post-reduction for a caudoventral luxation?

A
  • put joint through full ROM to clear debris
  • apply hobbles for 10-14 days
  • ehmer sling is contraindicated
18
Q

Describe a craniodorsal coxofemoral luxation

A
  • most common
  • greater trochanter displaced dorsally
  • affected leg held in relaxed extension
  • limb adducted and externally rotated
  • affected limb is shorter
19
Q

What needs to be done post-reduction for a craniodorsal luxation?

A
  • put joint through full ROM to clear debris
  • test stability
  • ehmer sling for 10-14 days
20
Q

What are the indications for an open reduction on a coxofemoral luxation?

A
  • pelvic/acetabular fracture
  • femoral fractures
  • unstable closed reduction
  • recurrent closed reduction
21
Q

What surgical treatments are used for coxofemoral luxations?

A
  • capsulorrhaphy
  • prosthetic capsule
  • toggle pin
  • salvage: FHO, THR
22
Q

What is the prognosis for coxofemoral luxations?

A
  • closed reduction more successful with recent injury

- open reduction good to excellent
