Abstract
Nontraumatic hindlimb lameness in the rottweiler may be associated wit h sesamoid disease; osteochondritis dissecans of the tarsus; osteochon dritis dissecans of the stifle joint; cranial cruciate ligament ruptur e; patellar luxation; hip dysplasia; primary bone tumors; angular limb deformities; panosteitis; hypertrophic osteodystrophy; or degenerativ e, infectious, or immune-mediated arthropathies.
