Welcome to OrthoVetInfo!
I created this space so I can share my experience and insights as a veterinary orthopedic surgeon,
offering clear and approachable veterinary orthopedics content that hopefully can be valuable
for owners and veterinary professionals with similar interests.

FHNO

FHNO is surgical procedure consisting of the excision (surgical removal) of femoral head and neck. The goal of FHNO is to remove bone-on-bone contact and restore pain-free mobility to a diseased or damaged hip joint.
Most patients will show signs of complete recovery approximately 6-8 post-operatively and will be able to return to their regular activity.
