Craniodorsal hip luxation is usually due to trauma. In this poodle, a helper stepped on the back, dislocating the left hip. Vet 1 tried closed reduction (without surgery) but the hip dislocated again. FHO (Femoral hip osteotomy) was recommended.
BEFORE CLOSED REDUCTION

AFTER CLOSED REDUCTION
FEMORAL HEAD OSTEOTOMY
IN THIS CASE
Blunt dissection of muscles
Expose femoral head more by using an assistant to abduct the joint
Bone cutter to cut off the femoral head
Create a false joint
Stitch up skin
