Summary
Fifty healthy adult Suffolk cross sheep were evaluated as a research animal for cemented total hip replacement. The surgical technique, peri-operative care, and long-term evaluation of the animals is reported. A modular cemented canine hip replacement system was used in this project. Postoperative fractures of the operated femur were observed in five animals. Two sheep developed septic loosening of the acetabular components. Two sheep experienced immediate postoperative luxations. One animal developed an acetabular fracture and infection. Five sheep exhibited mild lameness of the operated limb one year postoperatively, while all others had a normal gait. Postoperative activity level played a significant role in the development of femur fractures.
