N2 - A wide variety of surgical techniques to stabilize the coxo-femoral joint have been described in the veterinary literature. In this paper twenty small animals (19 dogs and 1 cat) were treated successfully with open reduction and an extra-capsular suture taken between the greater trochanter of the femur and the origin of the rectus femoris muscle. The technique is simple, quick and safe, and avoids many of the potential complications associated with other methods.
