Studies are being conducted on the anatomical structures of various wild animals. Despite the ecological importance of the Korean raccoon dog (), limited research has been conducted on its anatomical structure. This study is the first to establish a reference range for joint orientation angles in the limbs of the Korean raccoon dog. Joint orientation angles are an unexplored concept not only in Korean raccoon dogs but also in other wildlife. However, they are important in the examination of the skeletal anatomy of humans and companion animals, such as dogs and cats. Because this type of measurement is still emerging in wildlife research, we applied the methodology used in the domestic dog (). Angles were measured between the mechanical or anatomical axis and the joint orientation lines in the thoracic and pelvic limbs of Korean raccoon dogs. No significant differences were observed between the sexes or between the left and right sides. These findings are consistent with those observed in domestic dogs. Based on this study, a reference range of joint orientation angles could be established for Korean raccoon dogs.
目前正在对各种野生动物的解剖结构进行研究。尽管貉(Nyctereutes procyonoides)具有生态重要性,但对其解剖结构的研究却很有限。本研究首次建立了貉四肢关节方位角的参考范围。关节方位角不仅在貉中是一个未被探索的概念,在其他野生动物中也是如此。然而,它们在人类以及犬、猫等伴侣动物骨骼解剖检查中很重要。由于这种测量方法在野生动物研究中仍在不断发展,我们应用了家犬(Canis lupus familiaris)研究中使用的方法。测量了貉胸肢和盆肢的机械轴或解剖轴与关节方位线之间的角度。未观察到性别之间或左右侧之间存在显著差异。这些发现与在家犬中观察到的结果一致。基于本研究,可以为貉建立关节方位角的参考范围。
