Lack of response to medical treatment
Previous surgeries without functional improvement
Chronic refractory pain
The indication for a prosthesis requires a thorough examination of the patient and the affected joint.
Clinical evaluation and imaging tests

We have many dogs with a series of issues- Anna has looked after hamish since he was a puppy and he loves her. She has helped solve his skin and food allergies , and more recently helped to diagnose an abscess and a specialist was brought in to remove the problematic tooth- as it was a complicated extraction. Also keep ontop of his epilepsy and medications.Constantin has also done leg surgeries in two of my dogs who have had broken cruciate ligaments. Treatment is ongoing with some complications but all the vets and staff are happy to help whenever we need- frequent questions and calls after hours , as well as emergency call outs ! They have been fantastic! Highly recommend! Thank you Vanessa Make-up23 Septiembre 2025Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google.

Desde el primer día hasta el último me hicieron sentir que formaba parte del equipo en todo momento. Me tuvieron en cuenta en cada procedimiento que realizaban, haciéndome partícipe y explicándome todo con paciencia y profesionalidad.

Only a veterinarian can assess the health status of the animals, taking also into account other circumstances such as the type of

Domestic or companion animals, particularly those belonging to the canine species, shall also be classified as potentially dangerous,
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.
