Absztrakt
Despite decades of considerable research efforts, concerns regarding the prevalence
of hip dysplasia in dogs persist to this day worldwide. A strong correlation has been shown
between increased laxity of the hip joint, the occurrence of hip dysplasia, and associated
degenerative changes and clinical signs. The purpose of this paper is a systemic review of
the current approaches to hip joint laxity in the canine population, with particular emphasis
on diagnostic techniques, palpation, and radiology, in addition to applicable treatment
options.
