Abstract
In this study, total
hip replacement (THR) was performed by using implants from the Innoplant company
on 30 dogs and 33 cases. The average weight of the dogs was 33.05 ± 11.15, and
their age range was approx. 26.6 months. The breed distribution among the cases
was: Golden Retriever (n=5), German Shepherd (n=2), Rottweiler (n=4), Kangal
(n=3), Labrador Retriever (n=5), Mixed Breed (n=4), Alabay (n=1), Chow Chow
(n=1), Border Collie (n=2), Samoyed (n=1), and Bulgarian Shepherd (n=2). About
57% of the cases had bilateral hip dysplasia, 37% had coxarthrosis, 3% had hip
luxation, and 3% had excisional arthroplasty findings. In our study, both porous
and non-porous screw cups and stems of the Innoplant brand were used, while
complications occurred in 10 cases. Two of these complications happened during
the operation, while 8 occurred after the operation. Of these complications, 9
were classified as major, and 1 was classified as minor. The complications
observed including femoral fractures (n=2), stem subsidence (n=3), stem
loosening (n=1), cup loosening (n=2), cup dislocation (n=1), and loosening in
both the stem and the cup (n=1). In 4 of these cases, the prosthesis was
completely removed, while revision surgery was performed in 6 dogs. The
long-term results of the 6 revised cases were evaluated as very good. The time
until the patients could place their foot on the ground after the operation was
24 hours for 11 cases and 36 hours for 20 cases. In conclusion, the cementless
Innoplant prosthesis system used for THR, is a viable prosthetic technique with
a low complication rate which provides successful clinical and radiographic
outcomes over an average period of 31 months.
