This video provides an overview of standard arthroscopy instrumentation.
Degenerative changes in the hip joint leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Management ranges from medical therapy to surgical interventions such as total hip replacement for advanced disease.
The most common cause of hindlimb lameness in dogs, resulting from ligament degeneration or trauma. Surgical stabilization techniques aim to restore stifle function and prevent the development of secondary osteoarthritis.
Less frequent than cranial rupture, this injury compromises stifle stability and often occurs with other ligament or meniscal damage. Repair focuses on restoring joint alignment and function to improve overall mobility.
