FHO Surgery for Pets in Teaneck, NJ: Hip Pain Relief & Recovery
At Bergen Veterinary Hospital in Teaneck, NJ, we offer Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgery to relieve hip pain in pets caused by conditions such as hip dysplasia, fractures, or joint degeneration. This surgical procedure removes the head of the femur, eliminating bone-on-bone contact and significantly reducing discomfort.
FHO is often recommended for small to medium-sized dogs and cats who are not good candidates for total hip replacement. The procedure allows the body to form a "false joint," which helps restore pain-free mobility over time with the help of rehabilitation and physical therapy.
Our experienced surgical team carefully evaluates each patient to ensure FHO is the best option. Post-operative care is essential, and we’ll guide you through recovery with pain management, physical therapy recommendations, and regular follow-up to ensure optimal healing.
If your pet is struggling with hip pain or has suffered a hip injury, contact Bergen Veterinary Hospital in Teaneck today to discuss whether FHO surgery is the right choice. Call us to schedule a consultation and learn more about how we can help improve your pet’s comfort and mobility.
