Breed: Golden Retriever, Weight: 33.5kg, Age: 1 year and 5 months, Gender: Male (castrated)

This Golden retriever has degenerative joint disease secondary to hip dysplasia. The dog underwent a right hip replacement surgery at our hospital a few months ago and recovered well after the surgery. The pet owner was very satisfied. The pet owner brought the dog in for the left hip replacement surgery as planned. The dog was limping in the left hind limb and showed signs of foot-jumping during walks and running.

Preoperative x-rays showed that the right artificial joint had fused to the body and the implant was stable. The left hip joint was worse than before. Depending on the implant in the right hip, we are going to use a #7 biological femoral stem, a 26mm biological cup and a 16mm +6 femoral head prosthesis. Certainly, we still use the iBlueVet orthopedic planning software for preoperative planning and for finalizing the femoral head prosthesis to be used intraoperatively.

In the iBlueVet orthopedic planning software, the Marker is calibrated and the appropriate femoral stemprosthesis and acetabular cup prosthesis are selected. Preoperative planning was performed using a #7 biological femoral stem, a 26 mm biological acetabular cup and a 16 mm +6 femoral head prosthesis. Intraoperative testing with a femoral head prosthesis was performed before deciding on the final femoral head prosthesis.

Planned implants: #7 biological femoral stem, 26mm biological cup, 16mm +6 femoral head prosthesis.
