*Mainly large and giant dog breeds, especially with stocky conformations
*Seen in cattle - Herefords
*Subluxation of hip joint due to maldevelopment
*Not present at bith
*Inherited + environmental factor involvement (nutrition, exercise)
*Pelvic muscles are behind the bone development in rapidly growing dogs -> lack of restraint of the joint -> excess movement before acetabulum is fully mature
*Usually develops within first 6 months of life
*Varying degrees of severity
*Pathogenesis:
**Joint laxity / acetabular dysplasia
**-> Flattened femoral head +/- mild or severe periarticular [[Musculoskeletal Terminology - Pathology|osteophyte]] formation
**-> Thickening of femoral head + degeneration of [[Joints - Anatomy & Physiology#Articular cartilage|articular cartilage]]
**[[Musculoskeletal Terminology - Pathology|Eburnation]]
*Predisposes to [[Joints Degenerative - Pathology#Degenerative joint disease (DJD)|DJD]]
*Round ligament of femoral head may rupture -> luxation
