Table 5.
Proportions of Osteoarthritis (OA), Subluxation, Caudolateral Curvilinear Osteophytes (CCO), Circumferential Femoral Head Osteophytes (CFHO), and Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) Grades by DI Intervals
| DI Interval | N | Mean Age | Mean Weight* | OA | CCO | CFHO | Sblx | CHD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.33–0.49 | 53 | 3.1 | 12.0 | 2 (3.8) | 10 (18.9) | 41 (77.4) | 0(−) | 2 (3.8) |
| 0.50–0.59 | 127 | 2.2 | 11.3 | 4 (3.1) | 26 (20.5) | 96 (75.6) | 12 (9.4) | 13 (10.2) |
| 0.60–0.69 | 108 | 2.4 | 11.4 | 10 (9.3) | 32 (29.6) | 81(75.0) | 25 (23.1) | 28 (25.9) |

Over all weights based on n = 368. The proportions of OA, CCO, and CFHO are based on appearance in either right or left hip joint or both [n(%)].
CHD: canine hip dysplasia. Mean DI calculated using highest DI per dog.
