Objective: To describe the technique for, and long-term clinical outcome of, a modified hip toggle stabilization using the TightRope® system for coxofemoral luxation repair.
Study Design: Retrospective case series.
Methods: Medical records (July 2008-July 2010) including radiographs (17 limbs) of dogs that had coxofemoral luxation repaired with the TightRope system were reviewed. Follow-up (≥12 months) was obtained by telephone interview of owners. Six dogs were available for re-evaluation, radiographs, and objective gait analysis.
Results: Follow-up (mean, 24 months; range, 12-43 months) by telephone interview was available for 17 dogs. Of these, 6 dogs were re-evaluated (mean, 7.5 months; median 12.5 months: range, 4-24 months) and had gait analysis. Mean duration of luxation before surgical intervention was 7.5 days (median, 7 days; range, 2-44 days). There was a single case of relaxation 27 months postoperatively. One dog died from non-surgical related circumstances. Objective gait analysis showed equal pelvic limb use in all 6 dogs available for re-evaluation. All owners of living dogs reported limb function as being good to excellent, and perceived that their dogs were pain free. Radiographs (mean, 7.5 months; median, 12.5 months; range, 4-24 months post surgery) of 6 dogs showed no progression of osteoarthritis in comparison to immediate postoperative radiographs.
Conclusions: Hip toggle with the TightRope system as a prosthetic ligament of the head of the femur produces a favorable clinical outcome with high owner acceptance.

Comprehensive assessment of nonuniform image quality: Application to imaging near metal.
Magn Reson Med

Radiology, Stanford University, Stanford, California, USA.
Purpose: Comprehensive assessment of image quality requires accounting for spatial variations in (i) intensity artifact, (ii) geometric distortion, (iii) signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and (iv) spatial resolution, among other factors. This work presents an ensemble of methods to meet this need, from phantom design to image analysis, and applies it to the scenario of imaging near metal.
Methods: A modular phantom design employing a gyroid lattice is developed to enable the co-registered volumetric quantitation of image quality near a metallic hip implant.

Coxo-femoral luxation is the most common luxation seen in dogs after road traffic accidents. There are multiple surgical techniques to repair the luxation. These range from a capsular reconstruction to a total hip replacement.

Objective: To summarize the new research progress in distal interlocking screws of cephalomedullary nails for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures.
Methods: Relevant domestic and foreign literature was extensively reviewed to summarize the static/dynamic types of distal interlocking screw holes, biomechanical studies, clinical studies and application principles, effects on toggling in the cavity, and related complications of distal interlocking screws.
Results: The mode of the distal interlocking screw holes can be divided into static and dynamic.

Article Synopsis
- A 2.5-year-old female Valais black-nosed sheep was referred for sudden lameness after shearing, showing signs of a painful right hind limb and suspected hip joint dislocation.
- The dislocation was confirmed through radiology, leading to an open reduction surgery with a toggle pin for ligament replacement and stabilization using an iliofemoral loop fixation.
- Post-surgery, the sheep required 8 weeks of stall rest for recovery, and a follow-up 6 months later indicated she was lameness-free and successfully reintegrated into her herd, although the success of such surgeries depends on prompt intervention and owner commitment.
