Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) Surgery for Pets at The inFURmary in San Diego, CA
At The inFURmary in San Diego, CA, we specialize in Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO), a surgical procedure designed to improve your pet’s mobility and alleviate pain caused by hip joint problems. FHO is commonly performed on pets suffering from hip dysplasia, fractures, or arthritis, where the removal of the femoral head can significantly enhance their comfort and overall quality of life. Our team of experienced veterinarians is dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care for your pet every step of the way.
FHO surgery involves removing the femoral head, the ball of the hip joint, allowing the body to form a "false joint" through scar tissue. This procedure is particularly effective for pets who are too young for total hip replacement or when cost is a concern. At The inFURmary, we utilize advanced surgical techniques to ensure your pet’s recovery is smooth and their pain is minimized post-surgery, promoting faster healing and better long-term outcomes.
Recovery from FHO surgery at The inFURmary includes a comprehensive rehabilitation plan tailored to your pet’s needs. This often involves physical therapy, weight management, and a controlled exercise regimen to help your pet regain strength and mobility. Our veterinarians will work closely with you to monitor progress, adjust treatment as necessary, and ensure your pet returns to their happy, active lifestyle as soon as possible.
Choosing The inFURmary in San Diego for your pet’s FHO surgery means entrusting their care to a team dedicated to delivering personalized, expert veterinary services.
