A border collie, 10 months old, female, 17kg, suffered from painful lameness and muscle atrophy due to hip dysplasia, subluxation of the femoral head. As such, we decided to perform a hip replacement surgery. Accurate operative planning was made by BlueSAO iBlueVet. We did the surgery by using a φ23mm bionic cup, a φ18mm PEEK femoral head, a #5 biological stem, an M+0 femoral neck, and a φ16mm cortical bone side bolt of BlueSAO Bionic Hip Joint System for replacement.

Because of soft bone and thin bone cortex of this young dog, a cerclage wire was used simultaneously during the surgery to prevent bone fracture. The surgery was completed successfully. Immediate postoperative luxation testing showed stable results, and the dog is recovering quickly thanks to the minimal damage from this surgery.

As one of the core principles of medical ethics, "First Do No Harm" emphasizes that medical actions should prioritize avoiding physical and mental harm to patients. A good surgical procedure must cause minimal damage to small animals.

There are always specific or special cases at any time, but we must never take these as the general treatment principles. We strive for clean total hip replacements with the least possible surgical damage and work hard to achieve pain-free joints for small animals.
