Dorsolateral Subluxation of Hip Joints in Dogs Measured in a Weight‐Bearing Position With Radiography and Computed Tomography

Abstract

The DLS test can be performed with CT or routine radiography to measure variable amounts of DLS in weight-bearing hip joints oriented similarly to those of a standing dog. After additional long-term follow-up studies evaluating the development of OA and breed effects are performed, the DLS method may prove useful in studies of normal and abnormal hip joint development related to canine hip dysplasia.
