In this BoardsCast episode, we tackle traumatic hip luxation — one of the most common orthopedic emergencies in small animals — and walk through why it fails, how to fix it, and when to call it quits.

You’ll learn:

• What makes the coxofemoral joint stable — and what compromises it
• Why craniodorsal luxation is the rule, not the exception
• Pros and cons of closed reduction — and why it often fails
• Surgical options: toggle pinning, capsulorrhaphy, prosthetic round ligament
• When to give up on the native joint and opt for salvage
• Tips for reducing recurrence, improving post-op stability, and managing owner expectations

Whether you're prepping for the boards or facing a fresh dislocation in clinic, this episode gives you the mechanical and clinical framework to treat hip luxation like a pro.
