Kirk's Radiographs *11*

[Kater]

1.5 mos. after TPO (triple pelvic osteotomy) (age: ~7 mos.)
View: on his back (ventrodorsal)
Note: collapse of pelvis around midline



1.5 mos. after TPO (triple pelvic osteotomy) (age: ~7 mos.)
View: on his tummy (dorsoventral)
Note: collapse of pelvis around midline


After left hip dislocated (luxation) (age: ~10 mos.)
View: on his tummy (dorsoventral)


Some time after FHO (femoral head osteotomy) (age: ~11 mos.)
View: on his tummy (dorsoventral)
Note: sharp bony protrusion on femur



After FHO (femoral head osteotomy) repair (age: ~11 mos.)
View: on his tummy (dorsoventral)
Note: bony protrusion has been shaved down, the metal showing is his staples
This is as straight as the technicians doing the radiographs could get him. It is no wonder that his pelvis looks crooked!

I don't have time to write more detailed explanations. I need to study for 2 exams next week! However, if anyone has questions feel free to post them or PM me. I'm happy to answer any questions about these radiographs or hip dysplasia.

Miss you all! XOXO

It's so great to hear from you and that handsome man Kirk!!! I'm so glad to hear he's doing well. Those pictures are amazing. You are the best dog Mom in the world and he is the luckiest boy to have you go the extra five miles for him.

Congrats on making it through the first semester!! Take care and good luck on those exams. Please stay in touch!!

Thanks, Daisy and Delilah!! I have really missed PT.

I guess I should add something cute to this very dry 'medical' thread....

Kirk in Colorado!

But you'll have to wait until next month for more pictures!
