Background: An anatomo-functional system has been described for the normal hip of some young mammals. This system includes the ligamentum teres, the transverse acetabular ligament, and the meniscoid of the hip.

Purpose: This report analyzes morphologic changes in the anatomo-functional system of young rats in an experimental model of hip luxation, and on the initial pathodynamics of luxation produced experimentally.

Methods: Hyperextension of the left knee was induced in 58 young rats through fixation of the tibia and femur with Kirschner wire. Radiographic, macroscopic, and microscopic parameters were analyzed for 3 study periods (group 1: 4 d, group 2: 1 wk, group 3: 2 wk), and macroscopic parameters were studied in a late group (group 4: 6 wk).

Results: Breaks in the Shenton line were observed from group 1 (subluxation) onward (luxation). Hypertrophy of the round and transverse acetabular ligaments of the acetabulum and meniscoid, progressive elevation of the meniscoid, and fibrosis of the fibrofatty (pulvinar) tissue occurred from group 1 onward. Radiographic and morphometric studies showed triplane innominate bone deformation (anterior bending, lateral tilt, and rotation of the ischium), which resulted in decreased joint space. As time progressed, the increase in these injuries was accompanied by morphologic changes in the acetabulum, posterosuperior displacement and reorientation of the acetabulum and extrusion of the femoral head.

Conclusions: Under the conditions of this study, the temporospatial morphologic changes in the acetabulum due to injury of the anatomo-functional system, and the triplane pelvic deformity in the initial period of the injury, produced femoral head extrusion of the acetabulum. RELEVANT SYMPTOMS: These disorders may help us understand the pathogenic and clinical phenomena that appear in early stages of hip luxation disease.

Synovial lipomatosis is an uncommon, intra-articular, fat-containing, proliferative lesion with unknown etiology that is rarely reported in dogs. A retrospective study spanning 13 years was conducted to search for cases of canine synovial lipomatosis. Among 188 synovial biopsies of major diarthrodial joints (ie, shoulder, elbow, carpus, hip, stifle, and tarsus) from 186 dogs, 4 cases (2.

A hip luxation 3 years following a cementless total hip replacement was diagnosed in a 4.7-year-old neutered male Lagotto Romagnolo that presented with a non-weight-bearing left pelvic limb lameness. Orthogonal radiographs revealed a left hip luxation and an osteolytic fracture of the greater trochanter.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated how different surgical corrections for untreated developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) affect hip stress through 3D models based on CT scans of a pediatric patient.
  • Three models were analyzed: one mimicking the normal hip's acetabular index, another based on a theoretical biomechanical model, and a model reflecting the patient's actual post-operative state.
  • Results showed that the theoretical model had the least stress and best loading distribution, while the acetabular index model showed the most stress and least optimal conditions.

Objective:  The aim of this study was to report complications and outcomes of a cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) system with a second-generation selective laser-melted screw cup (SCSL).

Study Design:  All THA using the SCSL performed at a single institution between January 2017 and November 2022 were retrospectively evaluated. Patients with a minimum follow-up period of 12 months and complete medical records were included and analyzed for radiographic and clinical outcomes.

Objective: To determine the accuracy of ultrasound for diagnosing hip luxation in dogs presenting for hind limb lameness.

Methods: 24 client-owned dogs presenting with pelvic limb lameness and concern for hip luxation were enrolled in this prospective diagnostic accuracy study from April 1, 2021, to July 1, 2022. An experienced ultrasonographer and a novice ultrasonographer, both masked to the diagnoses, performed hip ultrasonography using a point-of-care ultrasound machine.
