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.
