What pet total hip replacement?

Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a highly specialized orthopedic surgery that offers a long-term solution to severe hip pain and lost mobility, typically caused by debilitating conditions like advanced hip dysplasia or severe arthritis. The procedure involves surgically removing the diseased or damaged “ball and socket” hip joint—the head of the femur (thigh bone) and the acetabulum (pelvic socket)—and replacing them with an artificial, or prosthetic, joint made of durable metal and plastic components.

The ultimate goal of THR is to completely eliminate the source of pain, restore a near-normal range of motion and function, and allow the pet to return to a healthy, active, and pain-free life.

Benefits of Total Hip Replacement

Pain Elimination: The primary benefit is the removal of chronic pain associated with severe arthritis, hip dysplasia, or traumatic injuries.
Restoration of Function: THR restores the normal biomechanics of the joint, allowing for a return to near-normal limb function.
Restored Mobility and Activity: Pets can regain the ability to walk, run, jump, and climb stairs without the limitations and discomfort they experienced before surgery.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Hip replacements can lead to be positive change in the pet’s energy level, attitude, and personality.

How Does Total Hip Replacement Work?

We use the advanced KYON Total Hip System, which is built for long-term stability and natural bone integration, helping pets enjoy a healthy, active life once again.

Key Benefits of the KYON (Zurich Cementless) THR System

Superior & Immediate Fixation (Cementless)

Immediate Stability: The system provides immediate and indefinitely stable anchorage of the components without the use of bone cement.
Locking Screw Technology: Proprietary locking screws secure the femoral component, which helps eliminate micromotion and is a key factor in reducing the risk of aseptic loosening (a common failure point in cemented implants).
Rapid Bone Integration (Osseointegration): The implants have a porous titanium and Hydroxyapatite coating. This surface encourages the surrounding bone to grow directly into the implant, ensuring long-term stability and a truly integrated, lasting solution.

2. Enhanced Durability and Reduced Wear

Advanced Materials: KYON was the first company to offer ceramic heads for veterinary THR. These advanced ceramic heads (Zirconia Toughened Alumina) are extremely hard, tough, and biocompatible.
Wear Reduction: The ceramic head paired with the PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) cup inlay provides a superior bearing surface with a lower coefficient of friction, which significantly reduces wear particles and the associated risk of revision surgery.

Versatility and Patient Customization

Wide Range of Sizes: The system is available in a full spectrum of sizes, allowing treatment for toy breed dogs and cats (Mini THR) up to giant breed dogs.
Modular Design: The modular system allows surgeons to combine different sizes of stems, necks, heads, and cups, ensuring the implants are perfectly matched to the individual patient’s anatomical needs.
Dual Mobility Option: For patients with a high risk of post-operative luxation (dislocation), KYON offers a Dual Mobility cup, providing an extra layer of safety.
