The radiographic signs associated with implanted canine total hip prostheses include: (1) a 1 mm‐or‐less wide static lucent zone at the acetabular and femoral bone‐cement interfaces, and (2) periosteal bone proliferation surrounding the stem of the femoral prosthesis. The radiographic signs associated with total hip replacement complications are dislocation of the femoral component, bone changes suggestive of infection involving the acetabular and femoral components, and loosening of the acetabular component. Arthrography is beneficial in determining the presence of a loose prosthesis with or without infection.
