DEAR GuliGuli;
I practice in the USA for more than 20 years. THR is one of our regular orthopedic surgery in our hospital in the last 7-8 years. We(Dr. Wang and I) go back to Taiwan to perform THR on dogs every 2-3 months in the last 2 years. As I mention previously there is no doctor (I should say team) can perform THR at Vet hospital in NTU. I do not know how can you get the right help from them.
The implants we use on dogs are same as the quality as using in human. The unit price indeed is higher than human because the demands is much lower than human.
We will be glad to discuss the concepts/experience of this surgery with your orthopedic surgeon. I believe both groups can learn some new ideas from each other.
Our next trip to go back to Taiwan will be at the end of November. You can try to contact Amy to see can we meet together sometime.
