ostectomy การใช้

Small horses and ponies can have an ostectomy without an osteotomy of the greater trochanter.
This has led to the procedure often also called " Femoral head and neck ostectomy ".
In dentistry, ostectomy refers specifically to the removal of bone surrounding a tooth in an attempt to eliminate an adjacent periodontal pocket.
"Femoral head ostectomy " ( FHO ), sometimes appropriate for smaller dogs and cats, is when the head of the femur is removed but not replaced.
The procedure, a Femoral head ostectomy & ndash; also known as a Femoral head and neck ostectomy & ndash; is a salvage procedure, mostly used in cases of severe damage through Hip dysplasia or Arthritis in which the Head ( and, sometimes, the Neck ) of the Femur are removed, allowing fibrous tissue to grow in place, creating effectively, a pseudo-joint.
