ABSTRACT
Transarticular pinning was used for the repair of hip dislocation in 40 dogs. The mean follow-up period was 18.4 months. Satisfactory results were achieved in 80% of the cases. Body weight, ipsilateral femoral head fracture, and hip dysplasia appeared to affect long-term prognosis. The most frequent complication was pin breakage, but this did not affect final outcome and could be avoided by using pins of larger diameter. Osteonecrosis was observed in two cases.
