3D HIP Workshop

Be among the first to master the advanced 3D HIP Technique!

We invite you to join a 3D HIP Workshop, focusing on the revolutionary technique of Shelf Arthroplasty of Dorsal Acetabular Rim with 3D-printed personalized Titanium Implant (3D HIP) for young dogs with Hip Dysplasia. This workshop is designed specifically for veterinarians committed to advancing their knowledge and skills in the treatment of hip dysplasia in young dogs.

In this groundbreaking workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn from esteemed experts, engage in hands-on practice, and expand your professional expertise in the innovative field of veterinary orthopedics.

Spaces are limited to ensure a high-quality learning experience, so pre-register to secure your spot. We look forward to welcoming you to one of our 3D HIP Workshops!

OBJECTIVES & KEY LEARNING POINTS
COURSE AGENDA

Shelf Arthroplasty of Dorsal Acetabular Rim with 3D Printed Personalized Titanium Implant (3DHIP) for Young Dogs with Hip Dysplasia

Learning Objectives

Understand shelf arthroplasty for treatment of hip dysplasia
Define inclusion criteria to recommend acetabular rim extension in young dogs with hip dysplasia characterized by hip laxity
Learn surgical anatomy for the shelf arthroplasty procedure
Perform acetabular rim extension in dogs with a personalized 3D printed titanium shelf implant (3D HIP)
Learn about imaging aspects of shelf arthroplasty
Understand the workflow for 3D HIP: from patient inclusion → implant fabrication → to surgery

Key Learning Points

Shelf arthroplasty using a personalized 3D printed titanium implant is a safe and feasible technique to treat hip laxity in young dogs
Strict inclusion criteria for 3D HIP in dogs with hip dysplasia are important for successful outcomes
The use of intra-operative fluoroscopy to confirm correct shelf alignment with the acetabular rim is advised
Shelf arthroplasty using 3D HIP is less invasive than pelvic osteotomy like DPO/TPO.
3D HIP allows bilateral application in one operative session
3D HIP is characterized by fast recovery, early return of normal pain-free locomotion and minimal implant complications
