FHO surgery is utilized for dogs with hip dysplasia and arthritis. In this procedure, our experienced surgical team will remove part of the ball and socket joint, resulting in less pain for dogs. In addition, this surgery removes bone-on-bone contact, creating pain and inflammation. After the surgery, during the healing process, your dog’s natural healing process will form fibrous tissue to re-stabilize the hip joint. The success of this procedure in large dogs depends greatly on post-op rehabilitation, and referral to a rehabilitation center is highly recommended.
