Hi Guys

After we'd been told her hip looks normal in her last check, imagine
our shock when we were told this week that she has mild Dysplasia
(don't know whether that's correct as I copied it from surgeons
notes) and there is a possibility she'll need an operation. He
showed me an x-ray and the right hand side was curved and the left
straight and at an angle, I think I was looking at the hip socket, I
don't know and was too shocked to ask. He said it may sort itself
but we need to watch her and when she starts walking, if she has a
limp he'll have to perform a procedure beginning with an 'o', and
it's an incision on her joint and they call it a controlled break.
Do they mean they're going to break her hip socket? Does anyone
know anything about this procedure and am I making any sense?

Thanks
