Original publication title: Extracapsular sling technique for treatment of three canine caudoventral hip luxation cases

Plain-English summary
Three dogs with a rare hip injury called caudoventral hip luxation (where the hip joint is dislocated) underwent surgery to stabilize their hips. The procedure involved using a special sling technique to secure the joint, which helped restore its function. All three dogs recovered well after the surgery, with no complications or further dislocations. This method proved to be a simple and effective way to treat this type of hip injury in dogs.

Abstract
Abstract The objective of this study was to report surgical stabilisation of caudoventral coxofemoral luxation by an extra‐articular technique in dogs. Medical records from caudoventral coxofemoral luxations in dogs and cats presented at our institution between January 2012 and December 2020 were reviewed. Caudoventral luxations were relatively rare and were found in one cat and in 13 dogs. Three cases of surgical stabilisation using a ventral coxofemoral approach were reviewed, replacing function of the transverse acetabular ligament using a figure of eight braided suture passed around two pelvic screws and one femoral screw. Functional recovery was obtained in all three cases, without complication or re‐luxation. Extra‐articular stabilisation using a sling implant is a simple, effective method for treatment of caudoventral coxofemoral luxation in dogs.
