The hip toggle procedure is a well established technique for the management of traumatic and unstable subluxation of the the coxofemoral joint. Although somewhat invasive it does have the advantage that by replacing the round ligament the hip has, postoperatively, a full range of movement. LigaFiba is a new, extremely strong surgical suture material. It is composed entirely of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, the same hard wearing material from which we make acetabular cups.
Until now it has not been possible to spin it fine enough to produce flexible tieable strands. Weight for weight it is 15 x stronger than steel and 2.5 x stronger than nylon. Importantly it has very good abrasion characteristics which is important when used in hostile environments such as lateral sutures and hip toggles. LigaFiba has a number of applications in veterinary orthopaedics and is available in a range of sterile presentations: ligament and tendon repairs, cruciate lateral sutures, bone tunnel cruciate procedures, hip toggle procedure.
