This surgery is appropriate for young dogs (8-12months old) with dysplasia but without osteoarthritis changes. This means that there is a window of opportunity for this surgery and if the dog develops arthritis or becomes too old, it will be too late to do this surgery.
.
Procedure involves sawing free the ill-fitting acetabulum from the rest of the pelvis, reposition the acetabulum piece for a tighter fit on the femoral head, and then stabiles the pelvic bone and acetabulum piece with plate/screws.
.
This procedure is much more involved and traumatic compare to JPS therefore early intervention is highly recommended if hip dysplasia was detected
