We recommend hip X - ray for dogs at the age of 6 months. Early diagnosed hip dysplasia can be very successfully treated with a surgical procedure called triple pelvic osteothomy. The procedure: First we cut the pelvic bone on three different sites. Then we rotate the acetabulum and by doing that we stabilise head of femur in its physiological position.

The best time to perform this procedure is in the growth period of a dog. It is also possible to perform the procedure if the femur isn’t dislocated, if head of femur is still intact or if acetabulum is still intact. Procedure is highly reliable with dog up to nine months of age, with small pathologic changes and when there isn’t any deformities jet.

If hip dysplasia is diagnosed after growth period we can replace the deformed hip with total hip endoprothesis.
