Hip Luxation – caudoventral luxation
.
Treatment for caudalventral hip luxation is similar to craniodosal luxation. Closed reduction under general anesthesia is recommended for acute, uncomplicated hip luxation. The hind limbs are then placed in hobbles to prevent abduction of the hips for 2 weeks. Cage confinement is also essential for immobilization of the hip. If conservative treatment fails, then surgical options can be considered.
