In June 2025, I had the honor of stepping onto the keynote stage in Bangkok at the 17th VPAT (Veterinary Practitioner Association of Thailand) Congress to present our clinical work on Feline Total Hip Replacement (THR). Delivering an extensive keynote entirely in English to hundreds of veterinary surgeons and university professors from across Southeast Asia was a fresh and deeply rewarding milestone. Feline hip arthroplasty is a demanding frontier requiring microscopic precision to match tiny acetabula, stovepipe femurs, and extreme jumping biomechanics. Sharing our biological dual-mobility protocols and long-term recovery data was about more than mechanics—it was about proudly representing the clinical heritage of South China Agricultural University (SCAU) and proving that Chinese veterinary innovation is ready to elevate standards and relieve animal suffering wherever it is needed.
