POOR CONFORMATION: HIP DYSPLASIA YOUNG DOGS 5-8 mos AND MATURE ANIMALS WITH CHRONIC DISEASE

POOR CONFORMATION: HIP YSPLASIA
14
POOR CONFORMATION: HIP DYSPLASIA Poor conformation combined with genetic, environmental and nutritional factors Acetabular vs. Femoral hip dysplasia
15
POOR CONFORMATION: HIP DYSPLASIA PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS Pain on palpation of hips Joint laxity (positive ortolani sign) – early disease – subluxation of hip Crepitus Decreased ROM of hip joints Atrophy of thigh muscles Hypertrophy of shoulder muscles

Hip Dysplasia: Radiographic view For standard Orthopedic Foundation for Animals–type radiographs to evaluate hip conformation, extend the hips and internally rotate the tibias until the patella lies directly over the trochlear grooves. Be sure the pelvis is straight, with symmetric obturator foramina. ventrodorsal view of the pelvis with rear limbs extended symmetrically and rotated inward to center the patellae over the trochlear grooves

POOR CONFORMATION: HIP DYSPLASIA and OFA CERTIFICATION "normal" radiographically may be further classified as excellent, good, fair, or near normal

POOR CONFORMATION: HIP DYSPLASIA and OFA CERTIFICATION

HIP DYSPLASIA and OFA CERTIFICATION dysplasia are categorized as mild, moderate, or severe

HIP DYSPLASIA TREATMENT NSAIDs NEUTRICEUTICALS/CHONDROPROTECTIVE AGENTS
23
HIP DYSPLASIA TREATMENT: MEDICAL MANAGEMENT Aspirin or buffered aspirin: 10-25 mg/kg q 8-12 hr or as needed: Discontinue if vomiting occurs. Carprofen (Rimadyl): 2 mg/kg PO q 24 hr Deracoxib (Deramaxx): For chronic dosing use 1-2 mg/kg PO q 24 hr as needed. Etodolac (EtoGesic): 10-15 mg/kg PO q 24 hr Firocoxib (Previcox): 5 mg/kg PO q 24 hr. Do not use in puppies less than 7 months of age or in dogs weighing less than 7 pounds. Meloxicam(Metacam): 0.2 mg/kg first dose; then 0.1 mg/kg thereafter q 24 hr PO. Tepoxalin (Zubrin): 20 mg/kg PO q 24 hr x 1 treatment; then 10 mg/kg PO q 24 h. This is similar to carprofen and ketoprofen.
24
HIP DYSPLASIA TREATMENT: MEDICAL MANAGEMENT Polysulfated glycosaminoglycan (Adequan): Polysulfated glycosaminoglycans prevent cartilage breakdown by inhibiting the enzymes of cartilage degradation during inflammation. Discontinue use if there is no improvement after the third week. Caution, may increase bleeding time. Cosequin: Note that dose is based primarily on empiricism and manufacturer's recommendations. Adverse effects have not been reported although hypersensitivity is possible. Cosequin is a brand name for glucosamine HCL combined with chondroitin sulfate which may stimulate synthesis of synovial fluid, inhibit degradation, and improve healing of articular cartilage.
25
Hip Dysplasia – Treatment Surgical Total hip replacement Salvage procedure in mature dogs with severed DJD unresponsive to medical Tx Pain free in 90% of cases Unilateral replacement provides acceptable function in 80% of cases Excision Arthroplasty or Femoral Head Ostectomy Forms “false” joint Removal of femoral head and neck to prevent joint pain Salvage procedure when medical treatment not working and other sx too expensive Best - < 20#; good musculature Abnormal gait Triple Pelvic Osteotomy
26
Arthroscopy – Juvenile patients A, Ventrodorsal radiograph of an immature dog with subluxation of the femoral heads and minimal evidence of DJD, typifying a candidate for triple pelvic osteotomy. B, Ventrodorsal radiograph of a dog with advanced hip dysplasia and osteophyte formation. This dog may be a candidate for total hip replacement or femoral head ostectomy if clinical signs cannot be managed medically. Arthroscopic view of a normal hip joint

JUVENILE PUBIC SYMPHYSIODESIS Juvenile pubic symphysiodesis (JPS) surgery is a prophylactic procedure performed in puppies 10 to 20 weeks of age that have been diagnosed with hip dysplasia causes premature closure of the cranial pubic symphysis PennHip distraction view of a Labrador puppy at 14 weeks. The DI is 0.55. The same dog at 50 weeks (36 weeks post-JPS).
31
Hip Dysplasia – Client Info Weight control important to decrease load on painful joint Swimming excellent activity Lameness may occur due to surgical shortening of the affected limb Physiotherapy – decreases joint stiffness, helps maintain muscle integrity Joint degeneration progressive May be heritable – do not breed Special diets designed for fast growing dogs may decrease severity
