Leading the Way in Total Hip Replacement for Dogs
Providing a life-changing solution for conditions such as hip dysplasia and joint trauma, total hip replacement has revolutionised orthopedic care for dogs. Vimian’s orthopedic segment, Movora, has become a global leader in this field, combining decades of experience and an unwavering commitment to quality and education.
Hip dysplasia is a common and challenging orthopedic disease in dogs, particularly affecting larger breeds. The condition begins during a dog’s juvenile growth phase and results from a malformed and loose hip joint. It is one of the most common inherited diseases among dogs, with an incidence rate exceeding 70% in some pure breeds.
Hip dysplasia occurs due to joint instability during growth, leading to looseness and abnormal forces that cause joint malformations. This condition can significantly impact a dog’s quality of life, often resulting in osteoarthritis and presenting physical and emotional challenges for both the dog and its owner.
A Legacy of Innovation
Movora’s expertise in total hip replacement is rooted in two of its founding brands, BioMedtrix and KYON, both pioneers in veterinary orthopedics. These brands were among the first to adapt human hip replacement techniques to meet the unique needs of canine patients, setting the foundation for Movora’s position as the gold standard in the industry. Today, Movora builds on this legacy with a comprehensive approach that spans product design, manufacturing, and veterinarian education.
Why Total Hip Replacement?
For dogs suffering from debilitating joint issues like hip dysplasia, total hip replacement offers a path to renewed mobility and pain-free living. The procedure involves replacing the damaged joint with a prosthetic implant, restoring full function. Unlike less advanced treatments, such as femoral head ostectomy, total hip replacement is designed to deliver superior long-term outcomes. This makes it the preferred solution for active dogs, allowing them to return to activities like running, hunting, and agility training.
A Rigorous Approach to Quality and Training
Movora is committed to ensuring the highest standards of care through a robust veterinarian training programme. Performing a successful total hip replacement requires advanced surgical skills, 3D spatial awareness, and precision. To meet these challenges, a comprehensive educational pathway for veterinarians has been developed, including:
- Online Learning Modules to build foundational knowledge of total hip replacement systems and indications for use.
- Hands-On Training through wet lab workshops where veterinarians practise procedures in a controlled environment.
- Post-Course Mentorship to guide surgeons through their first cases and ensure confidence in real-world applications.
By prioritising quality over quantity, Movora supports surgeons in building their expertise and ensures that every procedure meets the highest clinical standards.
Global Leadership in Canine Orthopaedics
The dedication to excellence showcased by Vimian’s orthopedic segment, Movora, has earned it a reputation as the leading provider of total hip replacement solutions worldwide. There is calculated to be over 85,000 total joint replacements completed to date. Despite this success, the potential for growth remains immense, with studies indicating that the market for total hip replacement could expand tenfold as awareness and access increase.
Movora’s leadership also extends to innovation, with continuous refinements to products and training methodologies. This ensures that veterinarians have the tools and knowledge they need to deliver the best possible outcomes for their patients.
The Future of Veterinary Orthopaedics
Movora’s success in this field reflects Vimian’s broader mission to enhance animal health through innovation, collaboration, and excellence. By continuing to expand access to total hip replacement, investing in education, and driving product innovation, Movora is not only leading the field but also shaping the future of veterinary care.
