- Hip dysplasia is a significant concern for dog owners and veterinarians
- , primarily influenced by factors like hip laxity and joint incongruence. Studies aim to understand and reduce its prevalence through early diagnosis and healthy breeding practices.
- This study examined the relationship between hip dysplasia and specific measurements
- (femoral head area, femoral coverage, and cranio-caudal distance) in 264 adult dogs from three breeds. The results showed variations in these measurements by breed and sex that correlate with dysplasia status.
- Key findings indicated that as hip dysplasia worsens, femoral head area tends to decrease
- , with significant breed-specific differences noted, particularly amongst German wirehaired pointers, German shepherds
