Abstract
Several studies have described additional radiographic views of the pelvis and pelvic limb that may help diagnose specific osseous abnormalities in do gs. For example, distraction views of the coxofemoral joints have been desc ribed in the assessment of hip dysplasia. Veterinarians may find this summa ry paper useful because it provides a single source of information on selec ted additional radiographic views of the canine coxofemoral, stifle, and ta rsal joints. These views will be applicable when osseous lesions are poorly visualized on routine views.
