Abstract
SUMMARY Triple osteotomy of the pelvis was performed on 9 dysplastic hip joints in 5 dogs. Acetabular redirection and fixation were unopposed by muscular forces, and bony union was achieved in all cases without complications. Two months postoperatively all hip joints were clinically and radiographically stable.
