Postoperative complications developed in 16 of the 62 (26%) dogs, with complications developing within 1 week after surgery in 10 of the 16. The most common complication was reluxation, which occurred in 7 dogs. Dogs in which surgery time was &lt; 2 hours were significantly less likely to have a reluxation (2\/40 [5%]) than were dogs in which surgery time was \u2265 2 hours (5\/22 [23%]). When asked to rate current limb function (0 = no lameness and 5 = non\u2013weightbearing lame) a minimum of 6 months after surgery, 23 of 27 (85%) owners indicated a score of 0 or 1.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Results of the present study suggest that toggle rod stabilization is an effective treatment for hip joint luxation in dogs.
