title: [Radiographic measurement of the antebrachiocarpal joint in dogs].
abstract: Radiographic processing of the antebrachiocarpal joint was conducted in 30 sexually mature dogs of different race, sex and body weight. Anteroposterior and profile radiograms of joints were made in standardized conditions. The aim of this paper was to determine the qualitative radiographic characteristics of the antebrachiocarpal joint in dogs, and the possibilities of applying various radiographic parameters in quantitative radiographic investigations of this region. The observed differences in the morphology of this joint in dogs in relation to the one in humans, are the result of evolutionary racial adaptation. By knowing these differences it is possible to adjust the radiographic measurement parameters which are in clinical practise use, and in that way enable the full use of dogs as experimental models in radiographic and surgical research projects.
