Abstract
Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is an inherited, developmental condition that involves a lack of conformity between the femoral head and acetabulum and invariably leads to osteoarthritis. In this paper, the author briefly reviews what is known about the genetics of CHD, how joint laxity and growth rate are related to development of CHD, and the possibility that CHD is a systemic disease involving multiple joints, not just the hip joint.Entities:
