Hip dysplacia xray shoing normal4/2/2024 ![]() ![]() used an intraoperative measurement of > 4mm to define labral hypertrophy which correlated with physical examination findings suggestive of microinstability. (Figure 6) 4, 25, 26 In one study Nwachukwu et al. Thanks to her caring family, Brandy is leading a full and pain free life. Labral hypertrophy is often associated with hip dysplasia and microinstability. Hopefully, the other hip will behave so that this will be the only surgery needed. There won’t be any pain that would normally occur as arthritis sets in from the joint instability. In this scenario, part of the femur bone, (the ball), is removed and the body will produce a false joint called “pseudarthrosis”. In these cases, a procedure called “excision arthroplasty” needs to be performed. From the pre-surgical x-ray, you can see why the one hip will not fit properly. The joint was kept in place with the aid of a figure 8 bandage, which eased Brandy’s pain until surgery could be performed. With the aid of sedation, the dislocation was reduced (put back in place). This condition causes hips to be easily dislocated because the normal ball and socket arrangement of the joint is distorted.Ī year ago, one of Brandy’s hips “popped out”. She was born with a congenital problem called Hip Dysplasia. ![]() Thanks to the dedication of her new family, Brandy grew into a healthy, happy dog, but had not finished presenting challenges. She had to be bottle fed and nursed through this period that she would normally be with her mother. Plain radiographs and measurements are also used to follow hip development and maturation. Other findings include disruption of Shenton’s line, delay in epiphyseal ossification and/or a widened or delayed teardrop appearance. Brandy was rescued when she was 2 weeks old, and the odds of her survival were touch and go. In the dysplastic hip, the normal acetabular index (around 25 to 27 degrees) is increased. ![]()
