Luxación coxal caudoventral en canino mestizo.

Abstract

Caudoventral hip dislocation is rare, causing dislocation of the hip joint causing the head of the femur to dislodge from its place in the acetabular socket. In most cases the femoral head is displaced cranially and dorsally from the acetabulum and in about 10% of dislocations, the femoral head is displaced ventrally or caudodorsal. A 7-month-old canine, mestizo, white with brown, male, appeared on August 18, 2021 at the CVUP. The reason for consultation was claudication of the right hind limb. The clinical examination revealed the following physiological constants: FR: 38 rpm, HR: 120 bpm, TR: 38.0 ºC, Pulse: strong, TLLC: 2sec, lymph nodes: normal, mucous: pink, attitude and temperament: alert. The musculoskeletal system (abnormal) was observed, showing grade III support claudication in the right hind limb with a valgus deviation of the right thigh, the other organs and systems were found normal during the clinical examination. As complementary tests, a radiology was performed: dorsal ventro of the hip where caudoventral coxal dislocation was evidenced in the right posterior limb. The treatment used in this case was surgical excision of the femoral head and neck to correct the dislocation so that the patient could have normal support of his right hind limb. In the post-surgical management, analgesia, anti-inflammatory, gastric protector and antibiotic were managed, ensuring the favorable evolution of the patient.
