• HD is an age-related disorder.

- synovitis natural animal model for human developmental
dysplasia of the hip. J. Orthop. Res., 36: 1807-1817)
• At 60 - 90 days of age :
- Cartilage fibrillation
- Remodelling of the
femoral head

Signalment and History
• Shortening gait
• Barden test
Ortolani Test : Lateral Position
• Hip started

will reduce the hip
When you need to
confirm CHD by
radiography.
Radiography in CHD
• HD is defined as radiographic
evidence of joint laxity or signs of
osteoarthritis.
- A symmetric pelvis
• But… false-negative
diagnoses with this
technique may occur.
Hip-Extended Radiography
• The main advantages of the hip-extended radiograph is the
ability to evaluate the joint for signs of osteoarthritis.
4. Joint remodelling
Normal mature coxofemoral joint
• Remodelling of the
acetabulum.
• Acetabulum is shallow
• Perichondral osteophyte
D J D formation
• Remodeling of the
acetabulum
• Increase opacity of
subchondral bone of the
femoral head and acetabulum
Hip-Extended Radiography
“Morgan line”
• A line of enthesophytes
on the caudal aspect of
the femoral neck
• The puppy line is more diffuse and subtle when compared with the Morgan line.
2. Circumferential femoral head osteophytes
(CFHO)
• A radiopaque line that encircles the junction of the femoral head
and neck at the region of the attachment of the joint capsule.
CCO
CFHO
Hip-Extended Radiography
• The degree of subluxation can be subjectively evaluated
or objectively quantified using methods such as
• Seen on hip-extended
radiographs.
