Plain-English summary
Five dogs with hip dysplasia (a condition where the hip joint doesn't fit properly) underwent a surgical procedure called triple osteotomy of the pelvis to help improve their hip function. After the surgery, all the dogs healed well without any complications, and two months later, their hip joints were stable and functioning better. This surgery can be an effective option for dogs suffering from this painful condition.

Abstract
SUMMARY Triple osteotomy of the pelvis was performed on 9 dysplastic hip joints in 5 dogs. Acetabular redirection and fixation were unopposed by muscular forces, and bony union was achieved in all cases without complications. Two months postoperatively all hip joints were clinically and radiographically stable.
