Abstract

Lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LTV) frequently occur in German shepherd dogs. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and interdependence between LTV and canine hip dysplasia (CHD) as well as sacroiliac joint degenerative changes visualized on ventrodorsal radiographs of the pelvis in both working and companion German shepherd dogs. The presence of LTV was found in 12% of working dogs and in 33% of companion dogs. Similar incidence of hip dysplasia in both the groups was found. It has been shown that dogs with LTV have a higher frequency of severe CHD. A higher percentage of sacroiliac joint degenerative changes was observed in dogs with no signs of LTV and in working dogs.

摘要

腰骶部移行椎（LTV）在德国牧羊犬中经常出现。本研究的目的是评估工作犬和伴侣犬中LTV与犬髋关节发育不良（CHD）之间的患病率和相互依存关系，以及在骨盆腹背位X线片上可见的骶髂关节退行性变化。在12%的工作犬和33%的伴侣犬中发现了LTV的存在。两组中髋关节发育不良的发生率相似。研究表明，患有LTV的犬严重CHD的发生率更高。在没有LTV迹象的犬和工作犬中，观察到骶髂关节退行性变化的百分比更高。
