A 9-yr-old, 6.5-kg male green iguana (Iguana iguana) presented with immobility and inflammation of the left pelvic limb with progression over 1 wk. Dorsoventral radiograph of the hip showed a left coxofemoral joint luxation in craniodorsal direction. Nonsurgical reduction maneuvers for a closed reduction of the coxofemoral joint luxation were performed under moderate sedation, using delicate movements of dorsal limb retraction at 20–30° to the body. The left thumb of the left-handed handler was placed on the femoral head, applying gentle pressure caudally. The leg was flexed so that the femur and the tibia formed a 90-degree angle with respect to the lateral aspect of the body, and the plantar surface of the foot was attached to the lateral aspect of the tail using a figure-of-eight modified bandage. The patient left the bandage intact for 21 days without any adverse effects. Two months after the bandage was removed normal movement was regained.
