Pelvic osteotomy for axial rotation of the acetabular segment in dogs with hip dysplasia.
Pelvic osteotomy has provided normal function and activity to dogs with hip dysplasia. Physical and radiographic examination and palpation under anesthesia permit evaluation of the degenerative process and provide the specific amount of axial rotation of the pelvis necessary for each dog. The technique consists of an osteotomy of the pubis, ischium, and ilium to reestablish acetabular support of the femoral head.
