Prognosis

	Triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) has a very high overall success rate. A TPO study 
was conducted using 122 dogs that had hip dysplasia and 16 dogs that had experienced 
trauma. The success rate of this study was 86% with 47% success in dogs between the 
ages of 6-12 months. Following this surgical procedure, there is no evidence of 
subluxation in the coxofemoral joint and there is minimal progression of the degenerative 
process as well as osteoarthritis. TPO restores the normal gait and activity level, and 
eliminates pain in household pets.
