title: Three-plane intertrochanteric osteotomy for treatment of early stage hip dysplasia.
abstract: Indications, preoperative planning, and surgical procedure for the three-plane intertrochanteric osteotomy are described. The goal of this procedure is to decrease the biomechanical stress in the coxofemoral joint, thereby relieving pain associated with early stage canine hip dysplasia. Clinical signs of pain are alleviated for many years.
