Description

1 TARIFF HIP DYSPLASIA TREATMENT SUPPORT DEVICE FOR DOGS TECHNICAL AREA 5 The present invention describes a condition seen in dogs, which increases throughout development from puppyhood onwards. Preventing ongoing hip joint disorders, proper hip joint function hip dysplasia treatment for dogs aimed at improving development in this position It relates to the support bracket. 10 PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE Hip dysplasia (hip dislocation) in dogs is more common in dogs weighing over 15 kilograms. However, it is common in all dog breeds, causes pain to dogs, and is 15 It is a health problem that significantly reduces quality of life. In advanced cases, it becomes more... Radical treatments may, in some cases, even require the dog to be medically euthanized. Dogs are born with underdeveloped hip joints. During this period, they usually have no... No problems or abnormalities are encountered. In dogs, the hip joint is a half-joint. 20 It is in this form. The hip joint of dogs; bony elements; (shared hip bones) the acetabulum formed by the head of the femur (caput femoris), muscles and It is made up of tendons. The hip joint is not fully developed when a dog is born. Over time, the hip joint completes its development, reaching its final stage when the child is at least ten months old. It reaches that state. 25 The acetabulum, which is almost like a bowl in adulthood, is slightly concave at birth. So it's like a crater. The caput femoris, however, is not club-shaped but a pointed spear. It is like the head. These two elements, by making contact with each other in the correct position, It ensures correct positioning and shaping. The acetabulum, which is a flat surface, has exactly 30 It takes the shape of a bowl, and the caput femoris is a regular knob that fits perfectly into this hollow. Yes. In normal, healthy dogs, the femoral head forms a mass of bones within the pelvic bones. 2 It fits perfectly and comfortably into the acetabulum fossa. Furthermore, in this area... cartilage on the surface of the joints, and synovial fluid inside the acetabulum socket. Because of its location, the joint moves in a slippery environment within this cartilage and fluid. It performs normally. The correct positioning and shaping of the hip joint in dogs is determined by their length and DNA. This is provided by tendons encoded by the nerve. If the tendon is congenitally short, the caput It pulls the femur towards the body and the caput femoris is located within the acetabulum. It is located in a different place than it should be and is also deformed. The tendon is congenital. If it is long, it moves the caput femoris away, and the caput femoris being within the acetabulum is 10 It is positioned in a different place than it should be and its shape is distorted. During the developmental period of dogs, the soft tissue elements that form the hip joint, Tendons with appropriate elasticity and length are crucial for healthy development. It is important that the soft tissue elements of the hip joint have ideal elasticity and length. In cases where this is not the case, the femoral head is not in the correct position within the acetabulum. It cannot be positioned and leads to faulty joint development. It consists of three different bones. the joint crater in the acetabulum fossa, formed by the femoral head It should form by forming a depression under pressure. The tendons are not the correct length. In these cases, the femoral head cannot apply sufficient pressure in the appropriate place and 20 The joint develops in a pathological manner. There is an appropriate amount of pressure from the femoral head on it. In such cases, the bone functions normally, in accordance with its purpose. It grows by forming a hollow. This occurs when the tendon in the hip joint is not the correct length. However, when full compression of the femoral head does not occur, an abnormality develops in the hip joint. Movements become shaped. As a result of this deformation, the joint calcifies and the dog has excessive 25 It causes suffering and limited mobility. The child cannot walk and cries constantly. During the development of dogs, the load placed on the bones when they are still cartilage. In parallel, abnormalities in the bones also increase. Hip abnormalities at an early age. the joint grows normally, covering the femoral head and the acetabulum 30 By ideally cupping the hip joint, the symptoms of hip dysplasia are eliminated. It can be removed. 3 Although there are various causes of hip dysplasia in dogs, these It is known that the most common cause of the disease is genetic factors. This... In addition, nutritional habits, the type and level of exercise performed, and growth factors play a role. The rate of hip dysplasia, hormones, muscle mass, and other environmental factors also play a role. It is accepted that this has an effect on its formation. The dog's slow growth, growth factors such as maintaining a slim / ideal weight during this period, exercise routines, and living environment. These factors directly influence the course of the disease. Treatment of hip dysplasia in dogs includes nutrition and lifestyle guidelines (10 points). from style changes to surgical options a wide variety of methods This is being applied. In the early stages of the disease, dogs lose weight and develop swelling in their hips. reducing the load, shortening exercise durations, using medication, and physical therapy. Methods such as improving mobility can be used. Hip problems in dogs. In advanced stages of dysplasia, surgical options may be necessary. 15 Treatment methods include allowing joints to grow without too much strain. Minimizing the risk of hip dysplasia by providing support is also effective. This is one of the methods. Various measures can be taken to treat hip dysplasia in dogs. It is possible to reduce the risk of developing the disease or to treat it. Dogs 20 To maintain a healthy skeletal system, healthy animals should be provided from puppyhood onwards. It is necessary to ensure a balanced diet. The risk of hip dysplasia in dogs... weight control, controlled food intake, regular Exercise and devices like hip replacement surgery are some of the preventive measures that can be taken. With this invention, the risk of hip dysplasia and / or hip problems in dogs can be reduced. to correct dysplasia problems of the bone and soft tissue that make up the joint The aim is to prevent hip dysplasia by providing support. 4 A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention describes the treatment of hip dysplasia in the dogs mentioned above. to prevent or halt its progression, all, regardless of age or race The femoral head (2) and 5, which form the hip joint of the dog, are applicable in dogs. the acetabulum (1) bones can take the correct position while forming the hip joint by applying pressure to the femoral head (2) to the correct position of the bones forming the joint It is related to the apparatus that supports its acquisition and proper development.
