Course Focus and Learning Objectives
VetCE on Demand: JPS? TPO? THR? FHO? WTFudge??? Navigating Hip Dysplasia Options utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name. There are numerous surgical options for managing hip dysplasia including juvenile pubic symphysiodesis (JPS), triple or double pelvic osteotomy (TPO/DPO), femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHO), and total hip replacement (THR). The decision for when these procedures may be recommended is difficult to navigate. Even if the practitioner is not performing these surgeries, it is important to be aware of factors affecting procedure selection. JPS and TPO are time and disease stage sensitive that could be relatively less expensive options to mitigate a lifetime of hip OA management. This course covers the main indications, patient selection/exclusion criteria, and ideal timing of each of these procedures. Upon completion of this course the participant should be able to: outline the different surgical options for hip dysplasia including the main pros and cons of each procedure discuss with clients patient selection to make the best therapeutic decisions for each individual pet discuss important post-operative considerations to optimize outcome post-surgery
