Dislocation of a dual mobility total hip replacement following fracture of the polyethylene liner.

An eight-year-old male English Setter was referred for management of a dislocation of a cemented dual mobility canine total hip prosthesis that occurred four months after the initial surgery. Revision surgery showed that the dislocation was associated with fracture of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene liner. The dislocation was successfully reduced after replacing the liner.

Dual mobility canine total hip prosthesis: implant characteristics and surgical procedure.

Prosthetic dislocation is one of the most common complications after canine hip replacement. The use of dual mobility acetabular components has been shown to reduce the rate of dislocation in first intent hip replacement in human patients who are at high risk for dislocation. In such implants, a mobile polyethylene liner articulates on one side with a metallic acetabular component and on the other side with a metallic prosthetic head.

Outcome and complications after dual mobility total hip replacement: fifty cases with a minimum of six months clinical and radiographic follow-up.

Objectives: To report the clinical and radiographic outcome of a canine total hip prosthesis with a dual mobility acetabular component, with a minimum of six months follow-up.

Methods: The outcome of dogs that underwent primary cemented unilateral dual mobility hip prosthesis surgery by one of the authors for hip dysplasia or trauma, and which had a minimum of six months clinical and radiologic follow-up, was evaluated.

Results: Fifty dogs were included in the study.

Rupture of the quadriceps tendon. A case report in a young dog.

A five-month-old, male, 16 kg, mixed breed dog was presented for an acute non-weight bearing lameness of the right hind limb. A subtotal avulsion of the quadriceps tendon at its patellar insertion was diagnosed through radiography and ultrasonography. Two nylon sutures secured with a stainless steel crimp were placed in a locking loop pattern in the quadriceps tendon and through a transverse 2.

[Pulmonary migration of an axillary stent in a chronic hemodialysis patient].

The short-lived results of angioplasty for venous stenosis of a dialysis access led to stent placement. Its migration is a rare but dangerous complication, because of its final destination, that is right heart or pulmonary artery. We report on such a case and compare it with three cases found in literature.
