Hip dysplasia is a genetic disease that is influenced by many factors, such as diet, exercise, muscle mass and hormones.
It is estimated that over 100 million dogs suffer from this debilitating disease. Chronic hip pain leads to several other orthopedic conditions, some affecting the front limbs of dogs.
A total hip replacement is the best option for dogs suffering from moderate to severe hip dysplasia. KYON’s hip courses can help you to achieve excellent clinical outcomes for these patients as well as superior owner satisfaction.
This 1 day program features an in-depth review of canine hip dysplasia, pathogenesis, early signs and screening, clinical and radiographic exams, requirements for canine THR (clinic, experience and equipment), clinical development and experience, basic surgical technique with bone model exercise, guidelines for the clinic and advisement on how to establish a successful canine THR business model in your practice.
