Abstract

A total of 37 radiographs of hip joints of dogs from the Department of Radiology of the Dr. Vicente Borelli Veterinary Hospital in Aracaju-SE were evaluated. They were classified according to the degree of coxofemoral dysplasia (DCF) measured in the Norberg angle, the coverage percentage femoral head, angle of inclination and bilateral cortical index and were obtained as mean values in healthy animals 105 ± 2.77, 55.2 ± 4.83, 144 ± 5.3 and 0.3221 ± 0.0314 and dysplasics 93.2 ± 9.33, 44.3 ± 12, 153 ± 6.44 and 0.2832 ± 0.0311, respectively. A lower percentage of coverage was obtained, lower Norberg angle and higher degree of DCF in females, which contrasts with the established literature, Norberg angle, percentage of femoral head coverage, age, race, and gender were the variables most associated with the pathology. Tilt angle and cortical index showed no association with DCF.
