Abstract:
Coxo-femoral luxation is the most common luxation seen in dogs after road traffic accidents. There are multiple surgical techniques
to repair the luxation. These range from a capsular reconstruction to a total hip replacement. This case report describes a total hip
replacement to repair a failed toggle rod repair of a coxo-femoral luxation in a Greyhound pelvic limb amputee. The dog returned
to normal activity as a household pet three months post-surgery and at the last follow-up consultation at 12 months post-surgery
the dog was able to maintain an acceptable activity level as an amputee with no radiographic signs of complications.
