【 Hip dysplasia 】 Bian Mu, biological hip replacement surgery successful

Breed: Border Collie, Weight: 24.6kg, Age: 9 years, Sex: Male

This is a middle aged male meteorite colored Border Collie. He has bilateral hip dysplasia, which has resulted in severe bilateral hip degenerative disease. He has bone spurs growing all over his bilateral hip joints, with the right side being far more severe than the left. The acetabulum on the left side still has a shape, while the right side is already a dish-shaped hip. The hind limbs trembled bilaterally when standing. He first had a right hip replacement at our hospital a few months ago and recovered well. Now he is ready for the replacement of his left hipjoint.

Hip replacement surgery is both an advanced orthopaedic procedure and a lifelong pursuit for many orthopaedic surgeons. But it is also a very boring surgery. There are many steps to this surgery and each step is simple, but it is not advisable to think you are smart enough to skip or omit certain steps. It is also a procedure that cannot be rushed. It has been reported in the literature that there is a learning curve for canine and cat hip replacement surgery, and it takes approximately 44 hip replacement cases to pass the initial learning curve stage. I remember when I studied hip replacement in Cremona, Italy in early 2020 with Aldo, one of the best hip replacement surgeons in the world, he emphasized in his classroom that you should choose the right cases that are easy to do at the beginning of hip replacement and not to do risky and difficult cases at the beginning. After you become proficient, you can increase the difficulty little by little. If you have an experienced surgeon to teach you, the learning curve will be gentle and easy to pass. It's okay if you don't have a doctor to teach you. I love to share my surgical cases and experiences, especially hip replacement surgery. Feel free to look through my collections or ask me to discuss them. Anything about hip replacement surgery, mistakes made and successes can be shared with you. Why are you willing to share? Because I know how difficult the road is in the early stages of hip replacement surgery.
