Popis: Objective— To evaluate stance phase limb use after cementless (BFX®) total hip replacement (THR) in dogs and to relate postoperative radiographic variables to static bodyweight distribution after surgery. Study Design— Prospective clinical study. Animals— Dogs (n=35) that had THR. Methods— THR was performed using the BFX® THR technique. Postoperative pain management regimens were similar for all dogs. Standing bodyweight distribution (%BWdistrib) was measured using a pressure sensitive walkway and radiographs made before surgery and at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Repeated measures models (with backwards-stepping to obtain the final model) were used for statistical analysis. Results— Temporally, %BWdistrib to the operated limb increased (P
