Avascular necrosis of the femoral head was diagnosed in a 5-month-old Schipperke, before the development of femoral head and neck collapse and resultant degenerative joint disease. External coaptation, consisting of an Ehmer sling, was used to prevent the bearing of weight during revascularization and reossification of the subchondral bone. Results of pelvic radiography (at 10 and 24 weeks) indicated that the early use of conservative treatment was successful in promoting resolution of the aseptic necrosis and in maintaining normal coxofemoral anatomic features and function.
在一只5个月大的比利时小猎犬身上诊断出股骨头缺血性坏死，此时股骨头和颈部尚未发生塌陷以及由此导致的退行性关节疾病。采用由埃默尔吊带组成的外部固定装置，以防止在软骨下骨再血管化和再骨化过程中负重。骨盆X线摄影结果（在10周和24周时）表明，早期采用保守治疗成功促进了无菌性坏死的消退，并维持了正常的髋股解剖结构和功能。
