Dysplasia

The reported incidence of hip dysplasia in cats varies dramatically between studies, but the condition is likely more common than we realise

The iliac horizontal diameter is the recommended variable and maximum obturator foramen width is an acceptable variable in order to evaluate slight pelvic rotation

The position of a stable stem can appear different on subsequent re-evaluations, but this may be due to variability associated with inconsistency of positioning of the patient and limb

A collar on a cementless femoral stem in contact with cortical bone resists subsidence

Computer recognition pattern analysis was up to 100% correct in identifying abnormal elbows and normal elbows, with the medial images most consistent

Due to irreversible loss of cartilage, the prognosis of the erosion of the medial compartment of the elbow joint remains guarded

Inter-observer agreement for hip conformation was moderately low, resulting in >7% variation in prevalence estimates for dysplasia

The cementless acetabular cup stability under normal physiologic loads does not appear to be compromised in acetabulae with up to 50% DAR loss

Development of the condition was not related to any disturbance in the development of the antebrachia and elbow joints during the rapid growth phase in 14 Labrador Retrievers

There was no significant correlation between the clinical scores and histopathologic changes in 19 dogs
