The 3D HIP Titanium Implant is a first-of-its-kind patient-specific 3D-printed shelf implant for the treatment of naturally occurring and residual hip dysplasia in dogs. Developed to become the most effective but least invasive and least traumatic treatment for Canine Hip Dysplasia (CHD) in the market, 3D HIP offers a much safer and more feasible alternative to existing gold standard treatments Tripe/Double Pelvic Osteotomies (TPO/DPO).

Course Overview: 

We are delighted to invite you to a 3D HIP Intensive Course, an event dedicated to advancing veterinary orthopedic care for young dogs with hip dysplasia. 

During this comprehensive workshop, you will gain invaluable insights and hands-on dry lab experience in:

• Understanding the principles of shelf arthroplasty for treating hip dysplasia.

• Defining inclusion criteria for recommending acetabular rim extension in young dogs with hip laxity.

• Mastering the surgical anatomy and performing acetabular rim extension with personalized 3D printed titanium implants.

• Learning the imaging aspects and workflow for 3D HIP, from patient inclusion to implant fabrication and surgery.

This unique event offers an exceptional opportunity to enhance your skills, interact with leading experts, and contribute to the future of veterinary orthopedic care.
