 Hip Anatomy-Biomechanics
Although this nerve would not be in jeopardy with the common approaches to the hip, one must be aware of its location because it forms the upper limit to the proximal extent of the incision in the gluteus medius muscle when using the direct lateral approach.
An exhaustive review of all of the anatomical structures around the hip is beyond the scope of this monograph, but it is important to put into perspective some of the more important structures that are encountered through the standard surgical approaches for total hip arthroplasty.
Therefore it should be possible to fit the majority of the patients who need total hip replacement with prostheses based on a careful analysis of the form and cancellous bone distribution of the normal human femur.

 Hip Replacement Surgery and Hip Pain Relief Information
The hip replacement procedure is most commonly done for osteoarthritis, but may also be done for other reasons, such as avascular necrosis where the bone of the hip has lost its blood supply, or rheumatoid arthritis or other conditions.
If your doctor suggests total hip replacement surgery as a treatment for your hip problem which is causing hip pain - an injury or arthritis of the hip - you may feel a little scared and unsure about what is likely to happen to you.
The long-term goal of a hip replacement is to provide hip pain relief, restore normal activities of daily living, and enhance your quality of life.

 Hip Surgery
We prefer general anesthesia because of the posterolateral approach with patient positioned on his side and to obtain an optimal muscle relaxation, especially in case of a BHR resurfacing procedure in young patients with strong muscles.
The goals of total hip replacement (arthroplasty) are to provide relief of pain and discomfort, improve function and enhance stability in patients suffering from arthritis or any disabling orthopedic hip problem.
When the hip becomes completely stiff, surgical resection of the ossification is mandatory (see also publication: Early Resection of Heterotopic Ossification after THA).

 Gross Anatomy: FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY OF THE HIP JOINT
Concomitantly, the non weight bearing hip is "hiked" upward counterbalancing the effect that gravity wants to exert on the non reference limb which is about to attain a non weight bearing position.
Powerful concentric contractions of the hip flexors, mainly the iliopsoas muscle with help from the adductor muscles bring the hip into a position of flexion.
This enables the foot to be placed under the pelvis rather than in a position that would be parallel with the shoulder.

There also may be a bony projection present on any of the areas of the hip anatomy illustrated above that can not accurately be assessed as being an abnormal arthritic change or as a normal anatomic variant for that individual dog.
There are secondary arthritic bone changes usually along the femoral neck and head (termed remodeling), acetabular rim changes (termed osteophytes or bone spurs) and various degrees of trabecular bone pattern changes called sclerosis.
