Jul 16, 2024 · In this article, we’ve compiled the science-based, veterinary-approved information you need to know about rabbits’ hip dislocation. We’ll discuss the following: What is rabbit hip dislocation (luxation)? What causes hip luxation in pet rabbits? How do you know if your rabbit has dislocated its hip? Treating rabbit hip dislocation

Luxation of the hip is when the ball of the hip joint comes out of the socket, instead of normally sitting nicely in contact with each other. This is often caused by trauma, which may be as little as the rabbit jumping and landing awkwardly, or any forceful trauma to the hip, e.g. being trodden on, running into something, fighting, kicking out ...

Sep 30, 2010 · Using biomechanical studies, this research aims to compare hip capsulorrhaphy in rabbits, carried out with two different techniques: capsulorrhaphy with simple sutures and with anchors. Thirteen New Zealand Albino (Oryctolaguscuniculus) male …

The present study investigates the morphometric changes in the hip joint in a surgically induced rabbit model of hip dysplasia through the sectioning of the ligamentum capitis femoris and pelvic limb immobilization.

May 10, 2022 · A trip to recent Washington State University alumna Kelsey Roberts (‘21 DVM) at Cascade Veterinary Clinic in Wenatchee — the only clinic the family could find that was able to see the rabbit that following Sunday morning — confirmed their fears.

May 20, 2010 · Normally, rabbits have very strong hind legs, which they use for hopping. Vertebral fracture or luxation (dislocation) of the limbs in rabbits is a common cause for weakness and paralysis of the hind limbs.

Ultrasound (US) has emerged as one of the most applied imaging tools to diagnose musculoskeletal disorders and assist in guided intra-articular administrations. Nevertheless, in evaluating the rabbit hip joint, there is a need for an ultrasonographic approach.

MR imaging of rabbit hip cartilage can be performed on 1.5-T clinical MR imaging unit. Limitations due to the field strength can be overcome with efficiently designed surface coils.

Through biomechanical analyses, using parameters of rigidity, maximum force, maximum deformity and energy, it has been shown that capsulorrhaphy with simple suture and with anchors has similar results in rabbit hip joints.

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a leading cause of hip pain in young adults and often leads to degenerative osteoarthritis (OA). A small animal model of hip deformities is crucial for unraveling the pathophysiology of hip OA secondary to FAI.
