Fractures in this area of the femoral neck are very common in cats. The characteristics of a cat are small acetabulum, straight femurs, and large bone marrow cavities. Therefore, in total hip replacement surgery for cats, small acetabular cups and large femoral stems are often needed. BlueSAO Micro&Nano Hip System is very suitable for hip replacement in cats, to the point where I once thought it was tailor-made for them. Thanks to BlueSAO Micro&Nano Hip System, hip replacement surgery for cats has become much simpler!

On BlueSAO self-developed iBlueVet planning software, precise preoperative planning is performed after Marker calibration of the radiographs. Selection of the appropriate femoral stem prosthesis and acetabular cup prosthesis. Preoperative planning uses a #2 head-stem integrated cemented Nano femoral stem and a 10mm bone cemented cup. During the surgery, the femoral stem prosthesis model is used for testing before deciding on the final femoral stem prosthesis.
