There is no one ideal surgical way <strong>of</strong> treatment for traumatic<br />
cox<strong>of</strong>emoral dislocation <strong>in</strong> <strong>dogs</strong>. Almost each <strong>of</strong> surgical procedures<br />
has complications and drawbacks. They can result<br />
from the operation technique, time <strong>of</strong> operation and used materials.<br />
In Shani-Johnston-Shahar technique, the time <strong>of</strong> operation<br />
is very short, the technique is very simple, less <strong>in</strong>vasive,<br />
and the mon<strong>of</strong>ilament non-absorbable suture material used <strong>in</strong><br />
this study did not stimulated s<strong>in</strong>us formation, which are encountered<br />
<strong>in</strong> others methods [6]. In comparisons with other<br />
techniques, especially <strong>in</strong> which non-absorbable sutures materials<br />
are applied, wide exposure to ilium is imperative and has to be<br />
done. Described procedure used the orig<strong>in</strong> <strong>of</strong> the rectus femoris<br />
muscle as an anchor<strong>in</strong>g po<strong>in</strong>t. To ga<strong>in</strong> this anatomical structure,<br />
there is no need to make wide approach, and surgical<br />
procedures can be easily comb<strong>in</strong>ed with access to greater trochanter<br />
<strong>of</strong> the femur. Besides <strong>in</strong> presented technique there is<br />
no need to create tunnels or put screws <strong>in</strong> the ilium, and thereby<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease possibilities for additional complications.<br />
In the present study, <strong>bilateral</strong> cox<strong>of</strong>emoral <strong>luxation</strong>s <strong>in</strong> 8<br />
<strong>dogs</strong> were treated with the Shani-Johnston-Shahar surgical<br />
technique, which is easy and quick. Based on a 12 months cl<strong>in</strong>ical<br />
follow up, the cure rate reached 87.5%; 7 <strong>dogs</strong> out <strong>of</strong> 8<br />
recovered a good functional mobility <strong>of</strong> each treated limb with<br />
no recurrence or arthritic complications.<br />
Based on <strong>of</strong> the presented study <strong>of</strong> 8 cases, it can be ascerta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
that described surgical procedure by Shani-Johnston-<br />
Shahar appears to be effective method for the treatment <strong>of</strong> <strong>bilateral</strong><br />
<strong>hip</strong> dislocation <strong>in</strong> <strong>dogs</strong>.<br />
