Congenital conditions that lead to osteoarthritis in the dog.
Several congenital arthropathies exist in the canine that can lead to the development of degenerative joint disease. Nevertheless, early diagnosis and treatment generally will afford the patient a favorable prognosis for limb function. There is still a great need to develop controlled studies to evaluate the long-term efficacy of many of the surgical and medical treatment modalities that are currently available and will be made available in the future to treat the patient with a congenital arthropathy.
