Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO)
in Rome, GA
At Animal Medical Center of Rome, we offer Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgery to relieve pain and restore mobility in dogs and cats with severe hip injuries, hip dysplasia, or arthritis. This procedure removes the femoral head and allows a “false joint” to form, significantly reducing discomfort and improving your pet’s quality of life.
Benefits of FHO Surgery
FHO surgery can dramatically reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent further joint deterioration. With proper post-operative care and rehabilitation, most pets regain normal activity levels and can enjoy an active, pain-free lifestyle.
