It is essential to relay information about your pet\u2019s nutrition, symptoms, activity level, and prescribed medications. They will also perform both a physical and orthopedic examination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">During the orthopedic exam, the dog\u2019s posture and ambulation are observed, and palpation is performed on all four limbs. The latter focuses on each long bone, the major joints, muscle mass, the spine, and the supporting soft tissues. The hip joint is usually examined last to rule out other causes of pain and inflammation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Excessive joint laxity can be palpated using a diagnostic test, called the Ortolani test, in dogs who do not resist manipulation. An Ortolani sign is beneficial when grading young dogs with HD, particularly in puppies up to about eight to ten weeks, as mild laxity is normal. The Ortolani sign is an indication of hip dysplasia in dogs older than six months.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Imaging Evaluation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Because of the importance of obtaining radiographs to make an\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalvetspecialists.org\/diagnosis-of-hip-displasia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">accurate diagnosis<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, it may be best to sedate overly excited dogs or those experiencing pain. That will allow for perfectly positioned imaging to be completed with minimal X-ray exposure. Two views, ventral-dorsal and lateral, are usually sufficient in the diagnosis of this condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Radiographic indications of HD include evidence that the femoral head is not seated deeply into the acetabulum \u2013 approximately 50 percent of the head should be superimposed inside the socket &#8211; and the absence of joint incongruity. Secondary osteoarthritis may or not be present and to a variable degree of severity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The severity of the laxity and, if present, arthritis must be determined by obtaining views of both hips. The combination of both the clinical and radiographic findings is essential for selecting the best treatment options.
