AIM: To obtain provisional estimates of the heritability (h2) of passive laxity of the coxofemoral joints of a breeding colony of German Shepherd dogs, measured using the PennHIP distraction index (DI). METHODS: Records were obtained of the PennHIP DI of right and left hips of 195 German Shepherd ...

Objectives: Comparison of PennHIP and a novel method to diagnose hip laxity, called the Vezzoni modified Badertscher distension device technique. Methods: In a total of 10 dogs, it was first assessed whether the distraction index (DI) from the PennHIP evaluation center could be reproduced by two...

Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is a complex, polygenic disease radiographically associated with hip subluxation and development of osteoarthritis. Screening programs have been established with the goal of hip improvement, with the most common in the United States being OFA hip scoring and the PennHIP...

Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is a developmental orthopedic disease of the coxofemoral joint causing a painful degenerative joint disease (DJD). Joint laxity is the first observable radiographic sign of CHD, and is often diagnosed radiographically with the hip-extended (HE) view. Internationally there ...
