Surgical treatment of dislocations of the hip by a modified toggle as described by Knowles (1953) usually results in a very rapid and permanent restauration of function to normal. An essential feature of this method is the slight surgical injury. This is achieved by using a relatively small toggle and drills with small diameter. The surgical technique and the results of treatment in 18 cats and 10 dogs are reported.
