Abstract
Coxofemoral luxation is separation of the femoral head from the acetabulum. About 40 to 90% of all luxations in dogs and cats are coxofemoral luxations (Venzin and Montavon, 2007; Smitha, 2014). The amount of soft tissue damage caused by luxation depends on the luxation’s traumatic forces, direction and duration before therapy (Trostel and Fox, 2020). The relationship of the femoral head to the acetabulum after dislocation is typically used to categorize coxofemoral luxations. They are the craniodorsal, caudodorsal, cranioventral, caudoventral and intrapelvic dislocation. The most frequent kind of dislocation is craniodorsal coxofemoral luxation, which occurs in 90% of cases (Shivakumar, 2015). The majority of canine coxofemoral luxations have responded to external manipulation, closed reduction and external fixation with bandages and splints (Anoop et al., 2012). Coxofemoral luxation in dogs has been treated with double sided toggle pin technique (Ergin et al., 2016). Open surgical reduction enhances stability and lessens the possibility of reluxation when compared to closed reduction.
