Prostheses are assessed in cases of severe osteoarthritisThe aim of the device is to treat the following conditions: advanced dysplasia, irreparable fractures, joint necrosis, recurrent dislocations or after previous surgeries that have failed to restore function. It aims to restore mobility, reduce pain and improve the patient's quality of life.
Depending on the joint and the patient, they are used:
Total hip replacements
Partial prostheses or "hemiprostheses".
Cemented or cementless implants
Modular components adapted to the animal's size
Each case is individually planned using advanced imaging tests.
The most common are:
Digital X-rays to assess joints and angles
TAC for 3D surgical planning
Complete pre-surgical analysis
Orthopaedic and neurological assessment
These tests allow to choose the size of the implant and the safest technique for the patient.
Risks include infection, prosthetic dislocation, loosening of the implant or anaesthetic complications. However, at Benivet Benissa we do apply strict aseptic protocols, safe anaesthesia and advanced analgesia to minimise these risks and promote optimal recovery.
Recovery includes:
Analgesia and pain control
Rest and limitation of initial movement
Supervised rehabilitation and progressive increase of activity
Check-ups and control X-rays
Guardian adherence is critical to the success of prosthetic implantation.
Veterinary prostheses are designed to be long-lasting. In most cases, they can function properly for many years. Their longevity depends on the weight of the animal, the technique used, the quality of the bone and adherence to the rehabilitation plan.
