ABSTRACT. Was conducted a case study of coxofemoral craniodorsal luxation resolution in a male dog, poodle breed, in order to assess their resolution through modified Knowles toggle-pin technique. The clinical outcome was studied by means of qualitative and quantitative assessments, before and after surgery, giving values ??based on Hudson et al 2004, on days 2, 7, 14, 21, 30 and 60. The results showed clinical improvement that was appropriate to the time elapsed, obtaining degree of lameness and sensitivity to handling / movement 0 (absent), muscle atrophy grade 2 (moderate). The X-rays revealed the correct positioning and stability of the implant, not showing radiological signs of rejection of the material during the study. Treatment results were optimal due to the stability that provided the structure

Keywords : reduction; coxofemoral luxation; modified Knowles toggle-pin.
