Hip surgery is a common orthopedic procedure for pets who suffer from hip dysplasia, a genetic condition in which the hip joint fails to develop properly, causing pain, stiffness, and eventually arthritis. We specialize in procedures such as total hip replacement or a femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHO). A total hip replacement involves removing the damaged hip joint and replacing it with a prosthetic hip joint. An FHO involves removing the head and neck of the femur bone, which eliminates the painful bone-on-bone contact in the hip joint.
With expertise in complex procedures such as THR, FHO, DPO/TPO, and JPS, Dr. EL'Akbawy has earned a reputation as one of the leading experts in the tri-state area for hip surgeries in pets. His extensive training, combined with a proven track record of successful surgeries, allows him to offer the highest level of care for animals suffering from hip dysplasia, fractures, or other hip-related conditions. At both Lincoln Avenue Cat & Dog Hospital and Animal Hospital of Fairfield, Dr. EL'Akbawy provides pets with advanced, individualized treatment plans to ensure the best possible outcomes and a quick, comfortable recovery.
Hip surgery can provide significant pain relief and improve a pet’s quality of life. After surgery, pets may be able to resume normal activities such as running, jumping, and playing without experiencing pain or discomfort. Hip surgery can also help prevent or delay the onset of arthritis.
Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure designed to replace a damaged or diseased hip joint in pets, typically due to conditions like hip dysplasia, arthritis, or trauma. During the procedure, the entire hip joint—comprising the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum)—is replaced with a prosthetic implant, allowing for pain relief, improved mobility, and a better quality of life. Our skilled veterinary team uses advanced surgical techniques and high-quality implants to ensure optimal results. With the support of a tailored rehabilitation plan, pets can recover effectively, regaining their strength and freedom of movement after surgery.
Femoral Head and Neck Ostectomy (FHO) is a surgical procedure used to treat hip joint pain caused by conditions like hip dysplasia, fractures, or arthritis. The surgery involves removing the head and neck of the femur bone, which eliminates painful bone-on-bone contact in the hip joint, providing significant pain relief. This procedure is often recommended for pets, especially in cases where total hip replacement (THR) may not be suitable. Following the surgery, the body forms a false joint where the femur and pelvis meet, allowing for improved mobility and a pain-free lifestyle. Our experienced veterinary team carefully performs this procedure to ensure a smooth recovery and a better quality of life for your pet.
Double or Triple Pelvic Osteotomy (DPO or TPO) are advanced surgical procedures used to treat hip dysplasia in young pets, typically before they experience significant arthritis or joint degeneration. These surgeries involve cutting the pelvis bone in two or three places and repositioning it to improve the alignment of the hip joint, creating a more stable and functional joint. By improving the fit of the ball and socket, these procedures help reduce pain, prevent further damage, and promote normal joint function. DPO and TPO are ideal for young, active animals with hip dysplasia, offering them the opportunity to develop a strong, healthy hip joint as they grow. Our skilled veterinary surgeons perform these surgeries with precision to ensure the best possible outcomes and long-term mobility for your pet.
Juvenile Pubic Symphysiodesis (JPS) is a preventive surgical procedure used to treat hip dysplasia in young animals, typically performed before the age of 5 months. During the procedure, the pelvic bones are carefully fused together at the pubic symphysis, which alters the growth of the pelvis and helps create a more stable hip joint. By adjusting the alignment of the pelvis early in life, JPS can reduce the risk of developing hip dysplasia and prevent further joint instability as the animal grows. This minimally invasive surgery offers young pets the opportunity to develop a healthier, more functional hip joint, improving their long-term mobility and quality of life. Our experienced veterinary surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure the best outcomes for your pet’s hip health.
Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) is a surgical procedure used to treat hip fractures by repositioning the fractured bone and stabilizing it with screws, pins, or plates. This surgery allows the bone to heal in the proper alignment, restoring function and reducing pain. ORIF is typically recommended for fractures that are displaced or cannot heal properly without surgical intervention. The procedure ensures that the bones remain securely in place during the healing process, providing long-term stability and improving the chances of a full recovery. Our experienced veterinary surgeons utilize advanced techniques to ensure precise bone alignment and a smooth healing process, helping your pet return to normal activity as quickly as possible.

It’s important to note that hip surgery is a major procedure and may not be the best option for all pets with hip dysplasia. It’s important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the best course of treatment for your pet’s specific needs.
