Breed: Maine Cat, Name: Tiger, Age: 1 year old,
Sex: Male ( castrated), Weight: 10 kg.
This cat suffered from bilateral femoral head
slip fractures. The pet owner considered the option of total hip replacement.
The decision was made to perform THR on the left side of the affected limb
first. We performed the surgery using BlueSAO cemented Micro&Nano Hip System.
Implants: #3 cemented femoral stem, 14mm cemented
cup, 8mm (+0) femoral head.
The surgery was relatively uneventful. Imaging
results showed good status of the implants postoperatively. Recovery was
excellent. A two-week postoperative review showed greater muscle mass in the
affected leg than preoperatively. The appropriate time was chosen for surgery
on the other leg.
