Coxofemoral excision arthroplasty was performed in 132 dogs and 51 cats over 12 years at the Surgical Veterinary Clinic of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich. 81 (44%) of these animals were re-examined clinically and radiographically after an average of four years, the gait of 17 of the dogs was also analysed. The functional result was classified as good in 38% of patients, satisfactory in 20% and poor in 42%. The satisfaction of the owners, however, was 96%. Dynamometric and kinemetric measurements showed that the pain reduction achievable with femoral head resection is at the cost of functional deficits in small dogs as well as the larger breeds. However in small animals some of these deficits are not visible to the human eye at rapid paces.
在慕尼黑路德维希 - 马克西米利安大学的兽医外科诊所，12年间对132只犬和51只猫进行了髋关节切除关节成形术。其中81只（44%）动物在平均4年后接受了临床和放射学复查，还对17只犬的步态进行了分析。功能结果在38%的患者中被评为良好，20%为满意，42%为差。然而，主人的满意度为96%。测力和运动学测量表明，切除股骨头可减轻疼痛，但代价是小型犬和大型犬都会出现功能缺陷。不过在小动物中，其中一些缺陷在快速行走时肉眼难以察觉。
