INNOPLANT Total Hip Replacement System

Tisha A M Harper. Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 2017 Jul.

Abstract

Total hip replacement is a salvage procedure that is done to alleviate discomfort secondary to osteoarthritis in the hip, which is most often a result of hip dysplasia. Commercially available total hip replacement implants for small animal patients are classified as cemented or cementless. The INNOPLANT Total Hip Replacement system includes modular, screw-in cementless components that were developed to improve implant stability by maintaining as much normal anatomic structure, and by extension biomechanics of the coxofemoral joint, as possible. As a newer system, there are few data and no long-term studies available in the veterinary literature.

Keywords: Cementless total hip system; Coxofemoral osteoarthritis; HELICA endoprosthesis; Hip dysplasia; Screw-in endoprosthesis; Total hip replacement.
