Objective: The aim of this study was to compare in vitro accuracy of femoral measurements obtained from different radiographical positions with actual femoral anatomical dimensions in dogs. Materials and Methods: Craniocaudal projections of the femur in ventrodorsal position, standard craniocaudal...

Background: Craniomandibular osteopathy (CMO) is a degenerative, osteopetrotic, and self-limiting bone disease that is rare in the canine species. The most affected bones and joints are the branches of the mandible, tympanic bulla, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with generalized thickening of...

Objective: To establish a reliable methodology for radiographic determination of alignment of the normal canine femur in the sagittal plane. Study design: Cadaveric pilot study. Sample population: Twenty-nine cadaveric canine femurs. Methods: Femoral specimens were collected from the University of...

A 5-month-old female terrier dog was referred with a history of lameness, inflammation and pain in her left hind leg after falling from high altitude. Crepitus was present in the region Radiography indicated a transverse fracture of distal femur and displaced patella. Surgical incision was made at...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of stem positioning on the biomechanical performance of a novel, collared, short-stem total hip implant under compression and torsion ex vivo. Study Design: Six canine cadaveric femurs were implanted with a collared short-stem femoral...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe hemiepiphysiodesis for the treatment of distal femoral valgus in immature dogs and to evaluate its effect on the anatomical lateral distal femoral angle (aLDFA). Methods: Skeletally immature dogs with distal femoral valgus deformities that had...

Objective: To assess the accuracy of a proportion-corrected radiographic cementless femoral stem level calculation in a cadaver model. Study design: Cadaveric study. Sample population: Twelve cadaveric canine femurs. Methods: Cementless femoral stems were implanted in 12 cadaver femurs at three...

Canine Hip Dysplasia (CHD) is a highly prevalent articular pathological condition. In this sense, radiography becomes an important diagnostic method to determine the presence and severity of the disease. The objective was to create 3D models and their respective radiographs representing the CHD (3D ...

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of measuring cementless femoral stem level on mediolateral projection radiographs. Study design: Benchtop cadaveric. Sample population: Twelve canine cadaver femurs. Methods: Cementless femoral stems were inserted into 12 canine cadaver femurs at three levels of...

Caudolateral curvilinear osteophytes (CCOs) are considered to be an important finding for the early detection of canine hip dysplasia. The objective of this study was to determine the association between the radiographic and anatomic appearance of CCOs, and to determine whether CCOs are indicative...
