Plain-English summary
A total of 85 dogs were examined for hip dysplasia, a condition that causes joint instability and can lead to arthritis. Out of these dogs, more than half were found to be free of hip dysplasia, while others were graded on a scale from A (normal) to E (severe dysplasia). The study highlights the importance of X-rays in diagnosing this condition, which can affect dogs of various breeds. Regular check-ups and imaging can help identify hip dysplasia early, allowing for better management and treatment options.

Abstract

 Canine hip dysplasia is characterized by joint instability, subluxation, or even luxation of the femoral head, which causes a deformation of the joint with the early production of coxarthrosis. The main purpose of the paper was to determine the incidence of canine hip dysplasia from October 2019 until June 2021 in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Cluj-Napoca. A total of 173 X-rays on the canine hips were taken between October 2019 and June 2021 in the Radiology Department of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine from Cluj-Napoca. X-rays were taken with the Roentgen TEMCO Grx machine, then imported into the RadiAnt DICOM™ program, and interpreted according to the FCI grading scheme. A total number of 88 X-rays were excluded due to different causes, thus our study presents 85 X-ray images of the hip from different breeds of dogs. From a total of 85 dogs presented in this study, 38 dogs were graded A, 10 dogs were graded B, 22 dogs were classified with grade C, with grade D were classified 6 dogs and with grade E were diagnosed 9 dogs. Out of 85 dogs examined (49 males and 36 females) more than half (N=48; 56,5%) were free from canine hip dysplasia.
