“…In this method, to understand the proximal femoral morphology with relevance for THA, the position of the femoral head and the geometrical variations in the medullary canal should be evaluated in particular (Franklin et al, 2012;Husmann et al, 1997;Noble et al, 1988;Noble et al, 2003;Palierne et al, 2008;Tawada et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2014). The position of femoral head or neck of the dog has already been studied in detail (Dudley et al, 2006;Franklin et al, 2012;Kuo et al, 1998;Madsen and Svalostaga, 1994;Palierne et al, 2006;Palierne et al, 2008;Rumph and Hathcock, 1990;Sarierler, 2004;Tomlinson et al, 2007;Wigger et al, 2008). To the best of our knowledge there are incomplete data to evaluate variations in the geometry of the medullary canal of proximal femur in dog.…”
