Coxofemoral dysplasia is a condition characterized by the abnormal development and flattening of the femoral head and deformities in the acetabulum, leading to joint instability. Although described in various animal species, it is uncommon and rarely reported in horses. This article presents a case of incapacitating coxofemoral dysplasia diagnosed in a four-month-old foal Mangalarga Marchador, which exhibited lameness in the hind limbs, thoracolumbar kyphosis, gluteal muscle atrophy, and pronounced sensitivity during pelvic limb flexion. The clinical diagnosis indicative of bilateral coxofemoral dysplasia was confirmed through post-mortem examination. This case report highlights the importance of awareness and monitoring for early detection of coxofemoral dysplasia in foals.

Article Synopsis
- Hip dysplasia is a common problem in dogs where their hip joint doesn't fit together properly, causing pain and stiffness.
- Currently, surgery is the main way to fix it, but other treatments focus on reducing pain and strengthening muscles using methods like hydrotherapy.
- New research is looking at special cells called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to help heal the cartilage in dogs with osteoarthritis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the outcomes and complications of a surgical procedure called single session bilateral femoral head and neck excision (FHNE) in cats with joint disease.
- Researchers analyzed medical records of 39 cats who underwent this surgery, noting details like diagnosis, surgery reports, and postoperative results.
- The findings showed that most cats (except one) returned to normal activity without major issues, indicating that this surgical option is effective and allows for quick recovery in cases where other treatments aren’t suitable.

Introduction: The management of hip dislocation in patients older than 9 years of age is a challenge in terms of deciding which is the best treatment course to follow since the main sequelae are as follows: pain, discrepancy in the length of the pelvic extremities and lame gait, with the consequent disability for activities of daily living. In Ho Choi, Thabet A mention limited treatment options, including total hip arthroplasty and hip arthrodesis. These options have their benefits and limitations.

Joint dysplasias always represent a great challenge for prosthetic surgeons. The common altered anatomical landmarks and the subversion of the anatomy of soft tissues surrounding the dysplastic joint are problems that can cause difficulties if approached with standard methods. Together with the resolution of functional issues related to dysplasia, the understanding of the underlying cause is fundamental.
