Influence of radiographic techniques on the measurement of femoral anteversion angles and a conformation score of pelvic limbs in Labrador retrievers

Conclusiona‐FAA correlated strongly with t‐FAA and improved the repeatability of CCLD scores within and between investigators. Clinical significanceA craniocaudal angled beam projection of the femur is a suitable alternative to a ventrodorsal pelvic radiograph when measuring FAA and may improve the repeatability and positive predictive value of CCLD scores.
