Abstract | ||||
The current research intends to provide an appropriate surgical approach for the Canine hip joint. It will assist veterinary surgeons in treating specific disorders in the hip joint such as Canine hip dysplasia. As well as it provides alternative resources to display the normal anatomical structure of the Canine coxofemoral joint via dissected specimens preserved by the El-Nady technique, colored dried specimens, and 3D printing. This study was conducted on eight adult male mixed-breed dogs over one year, three dogs remained alive for the surgical approach. Five dogs were euthanized for reasons unrelated to the study, three dogs were used to dissect hip joint muscles and ligaments then were preserved by the El-Nady technique, and the other two dogs were used to prepare dried specimens. The results showed that the extensor muscles were gluteal, piriform, quadratus femoris, hamstring, gracilis, and adductor muscles. The flexor muscles were tensor fascia lata, sartorius, iliopsoas, and quadriceps femoris muscles. While gracilis, pectineus, and adductor muscles were the adductor muscles. The hip abductor muscles were tensor fascia lata, superficial and deep gluteal muscles. The Canine hip joint was fixed by two ligaments, the femoral head, and the transverse acetabular ligaments. The educational models as El Nady technique, dried specimens, and 3D-printed models were used to facilitate the anatomical learning process. | ||||
