Plain-English summary
Ten healthy dogs underwent a new type of hip surgery called modular hybrid total hip arthroplasty to see how well it worked. After the surgery, seven of the dogs were able to bear weight on their operated leg very well. However, two dogs had issues with the hip joint dislocating and loosening, which required additional surgery to fix. One dog also suffered a femoral fracture, but this was treated by removing the implant and repairing the bone. Overall, the surgery showed promising results for improving the dogs' mobility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: This prospective experimental study evaluated the surgical procedure and results of modular hybrid total hip arthroplasty in dogs. METHODS: Ten skeletally mature healthy mongrel dogs with weights varying between 19 and 27 kg were used. Cemented modular femoral stems and uncemented porous-coated acetabular cups were employed. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed before surgery and at 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 360 days post-operation. RESULTS: Excellent weight bearing was noticed in the operated limb in seven dogs. Dislocation followed by loosening of the prosthesis was noticed in two dogs, which were therefore properly treated with a femoral head osteotomy. Femoral fracture occurred in one dog, which was promptly treated with full implant removal and femoral osteosynthesis. CONCLUSIONS: The canine modular hybrid total hip arthroplasty provided excellent functionality of the operated limb.
