Hip luxations have been reported in many ruminants, and several treatments have been described for them. However, successful closed reduction of hip joint luxation has not been reported in goats to date. This case report describes the closed reduction of coxofemoral luxation in a three-month-old male Saanen dairy goat. The goat showed non-weightbearing lameness and abnormal mobility of the proximal right hindlimb. Luxation of the right coxofemoral joint in craniodorsal direction was diagnosed by radiography. The femoral head was repositioned under sedation, and physiotherapy including non-weightbearing hindlimb movement and supported walking exercise was performed. Fifteen days after closed reduction the animal was discharged from the clinic. At that time the animal was sound at a slow walk but lameness was still present at faster gaits. Follow-up examinations revealed normal development of the animal, which subsequently showed no lameness and served successfully as a breeding goat.
髋关节脱位在许多反刍动物中都有报道，并且已经描述了几种针对它们的治疗方法。然而，迄今为止，山羊髋关节脱位成功闭合复位的情况尚未见报道。本病例报告描述了一只3个月大的雄性萨能奶山羊的髋股关节脱位闭合复位情况。这只山羊表现出右后肢近端非负重跛行和异常活动。通过X线摄影诊断为右髋股关节向颅背侧脱位。在镇静状态下将股骨头复位，并进行了包括非负重后肢运动和辅助行走锻炼在内的物理治疗。闭合复位15天后，该动物出院。当时，该动物慢走时正常，但快走时仍有跛行。随访检查显示该动物发育正常，随后未再出现跛行，并成功作为种羊使用。
