At 10-month’s old, Oliver was diagnosed with a genetic condition called Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head which required FHO surgery (Femular Head Ostectomy)
🔻CLICK FOR USEFUL INFO🔻
In this video, I wanted to share the first two weeks following the FHO procedure. Oliver is still recovering, but as you can see in the video, the post-op has been pretty smooth. If your dog is about to undergo this surgery, I hope you find this useful and somewhat reassuring. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave me a comment down below!

Special thanks to Dr. Patrick Maguire from who performed the FHO surgery in Singapore.

🤔 What is FHO (Femular Head Ostectomy) Surgery?
By conducting FHO, the head and neck of the femur are completely removed. Though the leg muscles will initially hold the femur in place, as scar tissue develops, a “false joint” grows over time alleviating the pain and discomfort. The surgery is usually completed within hours although rehabilitation can take months.

🤔 What is Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head?
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (aka Legg-Calve-Perthes or Perthes Disease) happens when the head of the femur (the ball part of the hip joint) loses its blood supply and the bony tissue dies.
The condition is hereditary and found in small breeds (like toy poodles). Signs and symptoms often appear during the puppy phase (it can be seen as early as 9-10 months of age, like in Oliver’s case).

🤔 What are the common signs of Avascular Necrosis?
* Lameness / limping
* Reduced range of motion of the hip joint
* Decreased muscle mass
* Low motivation to exercise or play
