Inclination and Anteversion of Collum Femoris in Hip Dysplasia and Coxarthritis
Inklinations- og anteversionsvinkler på collum femoris hos hunde med hofteledsdysplasi og osteoarthritis
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 35, pages 115–119 (1994)
Abstract
Femoral neck angles were measured radiographically in 41 dogs examined for hip dysplasia. Steep femoral neck inclination was found to be a phenomenon of hip dysplasia and coxofemoral joint laxity. The altered biomechanics of a steep femoral neck inclination may be a factor in the pathogenesis of hip dysplasia and secondary osteoarthritis.
Sammendrag
Anteversions- og inklinationsvinkel for collum femoris blev bestemt ved radiologisk undersøgelse af 41 store og mellemstore hunde. Ved samme undersøgelse blev alle hundene undersøgt for hofteledsdysplasi.
Inklinationsvinklen var statistisk signifikant større hos hunde med hofteledsdysplasi og hos hunde med hofteledsinstabilitet end hos kontrolhunde.
Undersøgelsen støtter således hypotesen, at en forøget inklinationsvinkel og den dermed ændrede biomekanik kan være af betydning for udvikling af hofteledsdysplasi hos hund.
