Abstract

Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is an alteration present in the hip joints and femoral head that can develop due to several factors, including hereditary, environmental, nutritional and others, and which usually affects large dog breeds. This condition can be treated clinically, conservatively or with surgical intervention. Juvenile pubic symphysiodesis (JPS) is a surgical technique that is used for the treatment and prophylaxis of hip dysplasia, performed with predilection in young animals predisposed to this condition. This study was realized to report on a clinical case of CHD in a 16-week-old Golden Retriever dog treated with the JPS technique.
