Sentences with phrase «false joint»

A fibrous false joint forms and thus it does not maintain biomechanical function.

This fibrous false joint does not produce joint fluid and does not possess the normal cellular structures of a real joint but it does connect the bones together effectively.

This fibrous false joint does not produce joint fluid and does not possess the normal cellular structures of a real joint, but it connects the bones together effectively.

On the other hand, lots of activity strengthens the muscles and builds a stronger false joint so a very active larger patient may end up with better mobility than a less active smaller patient.

The fibrous false joint that will replace the hip joint will heal with a greater range of motion.

A femoral head and neck ostectomy is a procedure that can be done by any general practice veterinarian and is an excellent procedure that allows a false joint to form.

Even though the false joint is not as superior as the original, most dogs experience a great reduction in pain.

Second, with the removal of the painful femoral head and neck, the body forms a «false joint» consisting of a cushion of scar tissue between the cut edge and the hip socket.

Once the femoral head and neck are removed, the surrounding muscles and developing scar tissue work to support the area, and act as a false joint.

Therefore, while there are no specific weight guidelines for the use of an FHO, smaller dogs typically have a better outcome since less stress and force is carried on the false joint than would be in a large breed dog.

This does not mean the surgery has failed, but is due to the fact that your dog is no longer working with a correctly formed joint, but rather with a false joint and a slightly shortened leg, and so the dynamics of the hip have completely changed.

The femur is then allowed to float freely causing the formation of scar tisue which then serves as a false joint.

The FHO surgery removes the femoral head and neck so a false joint can form from scar tissue.

Remember, due to the false joint that is created, the leg will be slightly shorter than the other leg and your pet may have a mechanical limp which is very different from a painful limp and of no concern other than cosmetic.

Over time, a «false joint» forms in the area where the hip joint previously existed.

With removing the joint, there are a number of changes in the way that force is transmitted through the leg, but they are usually not painful on movement of the false joint.

The damaged part of the bone should be removed, After this procedure is done, the ligaments which are across the dog's hip joint will strengthen enough so that they create a false joint.

If the pet is not carrying too much weight, a false joint is strong enough.

If the dog is very active, a false joint will form quickly.

If the dog is not carrying too much weight, a false joint is strong enough.

Here, the femoral head is cut off and removed, allowing the joint to heal as a false joint (just a capsule connecting the two bones but no actual bone to bone contact).

It is a surgery that creates a «false joint», since there is no bone on bone contact.

Femoral head and neck excision arthroplasty is where the femoral head (the «ball» part of the ball and socket joint) is removed and a false joint is allowed to form.

The muscles of the leg will initially hold the femur in place and, over time, scar tissue will form between the acetabulum and the femur to provide cushioning that is referred to as a «false joint».

Keeping your dog mobile will help keep the scar tissue within the false joint from forming too tightly, allowing your dog to remain flexible.

The false joint that is created in a FHO works very well to support the weight of small animals, but may be less effective in large - breed dogs.

If the false joint forms too tightly, we will not regain normal range of motion so exercise is very important during this time.

This is because a false joint simply is not strong enough to readily support the weight of a large dog and mobility will likely be compromised.

The femur is kept in place by the leg muscles and eventually a fibrous connection forms what is called a «false joint» around the acetabulum and the area where the femur used to be.

If the false joint forms too tightly, normal range of motion will not be regained so exercise is very important during this time.

The head of the femur is completely removed and the area fills in this tissue to create a false joint.

Following an FHO, a «false joint» develops with the muscles around the hip now transferring the forces from the leg to the pelvis during limb movement.

After surgery, the dog's muscles support what's left of the femur, and a «false joint» composed of scar tissue develops.
