Hip dysplasia was diagnosed in three cats. Two were presented with a history of hindlimb lameness and the other had a history of constipation. All were confined for two weeks and showed considerable clinical improvement. At follow-up examination the cats were free of clinical signs despite the deterioration in the radiological appearance of their hips. Luxation or subluxation of the hips, insufficient development of the craniolateral acetabular edges, loss of the arched shape of the cranial subchondral acetabular bones, shallow acetabula and secondary degenerative changes on the femoral heads and necks were the main radiological findings in the affected cats.

Objective: Spinopelvic sagittal balance ensures efficient posture and minimizes energy expenditure by aligning the spine, pelvis, and lower extremities. Deviations can cause clinical issues like back pain and functional limitations. Key radiographic parameters, including pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS), and lumbar lordosis (LL), are essential for evaluating spinal pathologies and planning surgeries.

Background: Hip instability following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is among the most common indications for revision surgery. The implantation of dual-mobility (DM) systems, designed to improve stability, continues to rise, and thus, characterizing in vivo implant damage modes is paramount.
Methods: Under an implant retrieval protocol, 51 DM THA systems were analyzed.

Background: Periprosthetic hip dislocation after total hip arthroplasty is a devastating postoperative complication. It is often associated with suboptimal orientation of the acetabular component, characterized by the acetabular abduction and anteversion angles obtained from anteroposterior pelvic radiographs. We introduce a novel automated web tool to streamline the subjective and lengthy process of this manual measurement and compare it to manual human measurements.

It was hypothesized that the stem size planned with accordance to the diaphyseal canal width alone can accommodate the distal femur successfully with no sizing mismatch. Forty-six patients (53 hips) suffering from secondary osteoarthritis due to hip dysplasia scheduled for total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a subtrochanteric transverse shortening osteotomy were included.
