Abstract

A 7-year-old, intact female Golden Retriever weighing 38 kg was referred for left coxofemoral joint luxation. On physical examination, pain and crepitus were noted atthe left hip joint during joint extension. Radiological examination revealed coxofemoral joint luxation and mild degenerative bone changes in the left hip joint. We performed minimally invasive arthroscopy-assisted reduction with TightRope$^{(R)}$ as a treatment option; however, the left coxofemoral joint was reluxated after one month postoperatively. We performed cementless total hip replacement (THR) of the luxated left coxofemoral joint. At tenmonths after surgery, the dog could sit, stand, walk normally and jump comfortably without lameness. The thigh girth measurement of the operated limb was 108.6% of the contralateral limb. Based on the present case, THR can be a successful treatment for coxofemoral joint luxation in dogs with failed coxofemoral joint reduction.

38 kg, 7년령의 골든리트리버가 대퇴관절 탈구증으로 의뢰되었다. 신체검사에서는 왼쪽 뒷다리를 신전시킬 때 통증과 염발음이 확인되었다. 방사선 검사를 통해 왼쪽 대퇴관절 탈구증 및 경도의 퇴행성 골변화가 관찰되었다. 치료로서 TightRope$^{(R)}$를 이용한 최소침습 관절경적 정복을 하였으나, 수술 후 한달이 지나 재탈구가 발생하였다. 이에 대해 무시멘트형 대퇴관절 전치환술을 실시하였다. 수술 후 10개월 경과된 결과, 환자는 정상적으로 앉기, 서기, 보행을 보였으며, 특이한 파행없이 편안하게 뛸 수 있었다. 수술한 뒷다리의 허벅지둘레는 반대쪽 다리의 그것에 비해 108.6%였다. 이 증례를 통해 대퇴관절 전치환술은 대퇴관절 정복이 실패하여 재탈구된 개의 대퇴관절 탈구 치료에 효과적인 수술법이 될 수 있다.
