An experienced ultrasonographer and a novice ultrasonographer, both masked to the diagnoses, performed hip ultrasonography using a point-of-care ultrasound machine. The experienced evaluator also performed a more comprehensive ultrasonography with a high-end ultrasound machine to characterize concurrent pelvis and hip disease. Pelvic radiographs served as the criterion standard for the diagnosis of hip luxation.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Ultrasonographic diagnosis of hip luxation demonstrated high accuracy, ranging from 84.2% to 100% for detecting the presence of luxation and 80.6% to 98.1% for diagnosing the direction of luxation for the novice and experienced evaluators, respectively, with substantial interevaluator agreement (\u03ba = 0.722). Compared to radiographs, ultrasound accurately diagnosed the presence of osteoarthrosis with almost perfect agreement (\u03ba = 0.913) and the presence of fractures of the femoral head\/neck and the nonaxial portions of the pelvis with substantial intermodality agreement (\u03ba = 0.775). In 36% of patients, ultrasound identified injury to soft tissue structures that contribute to hip stability, including the gluteal muscles, gemelli, and joint capsule. <\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Ultrasound can be utilized to accurately diagnose the presence of hip luxation and document concurrent hip and pelvic disease. <\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Applications include the use of ultrasonography as part of a routine point-of-care protocol to catalogue injuries in patients with acute trauma and in mobile practice or remote settings where radiography is not readily available.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.24.05.0321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]],"date-time":"2024-07-26T17:37:48Z","timestamp":1722015468000},"page":"1379-1387","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Ultrasound is an accurate imaging modality for diagnosing hip luxation in dogs presenting with hind limb lameness"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"262","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2396-1694","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Amy B.","family":"Todd-Donato","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gretchen M.","family":"VanDeventer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ian R.","family":"Porter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ursula","family":"Krotscheck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"ref1","series-title":"Educ Health Prof","first-page":"50","article-title":"A survey of point-of-care ultrasound use in veterinary general practice","volume":"1","author":"DeFrancesco T","year":"2018","unstructured":"DeFrancesco T, Royal K.
