Denervation for Hip Dysplasia?

    Denervation for Hip Dysplasia?

    Has anyone here heard of Denervation for treating hip dysplasia?  If you did, can you tell me about your experience with it?

    I have not, but, it sounds as if this involves cutting and/or removing the nerves?  I'd think that would not be a good idea since if it doesn't hurt at all, it's just going to get WORSE than normal from overuse....if they can feel the pain they tend to be more careful
    It's not for my dog, and when I first heard of it, I was skeptical, but I did some searching, and while there's not a lot of info out there, it seems it has been around for awhile, especially in Europe.  I know someone who was planning THR, but found they also have a torn ACL, so the surgeon suggested fix the knee, and do denervation for the hip at the same time, and possibly delay further hip surgery for a few years.  I thought I'd see if anyone else had heard of it.
