At Pets R Us Animal Hospital in Commerce City, CO, we offer Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgery to treat pets with hip joint problems such as hip dysplasia, fractures, or severe arthritis. FHO is a highly effective surgical procedure that removes the femoral head (the ball of the hip joint), alleviating pain and improving mobility for affected pets.
FHO surgery is often recommended when other treatment options, such as medication or physical therapy, are no longer providing relief. The procedure can dramatically improve your pet’s quality of life by reducing pain and restoring movement. It’s particularly beneficial for pets with hip dysplasia or those with traumatic hip injuries.
Our experienced veterinarians carefully assess each pet to determine if FHO surgery is the right treatment option. We perform a comprehensive evaluation, including X-rays, to evaluate the severity of the hip issue before recommending surgery. The procedure is typically done under general anesthesia and is followed by a recovery period with physical therapy.
At Pets R Us Animal Hospital, we are committed to providing the best care for your pet’s hip health. After FHO surgery, we provide personalized rehabilitation plans to help your pet regain strength and mobility. If your pet is experiencing hip pain or difficulty moving, schedule a consultation with our team in Commerce City to see if FHO surgery is right for them.
