Three different observers used MPR-CT to measure the following angles: anatomical lateral proximal femoral angle (aLPFA), anatomical lateral distal femoral angle (aLDFA), mechanical lateral proximal femoral angle (mLPFA), mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), angle of inclination of the femoral neck (AI), angle of anteversion (AA), mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA), mechanical medial distal tibial angle (mMDTA), mechanical caudal distal tibial angle (mCdDTA), mechanical caudal proximal tibial angle (mCdPTA), and the tibial torsion angle (TTA). A Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare each variable in both groups.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: The values for aLDFA and mLDFA in the medial patellar luxation population were significantly increased compared to healthy subjects (p &lt;0.05). No significant differences were observed for the other variables.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Clinical significance: In our population, an increased distal femoral varus was associated with medial patellar luxation. Our results could be useful to determine whether or not angular deformity of the femur is present and help determine the degree of correction necessary to restore alignment.<\/jats:p><jats:p>ORCID iD:<\/jats:p><jats:p>FMM: http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9615-2540<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3415\/vcot-16-07-0116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,5]],"date-time":"2017-05-05T11:11:47Z","timestamp":1493982707000},"page":"200-208","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Pelvic limb alignment measured by computed tomography in purebred English Bulldogs with medial patellar luxation"],"prefix":"10.3415","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Filippo","family":"Lusetti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Bonardi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chadi","family":"Eid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"De Bellesini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Filippo","family":"Maria Martini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.3415\/VCOT-16-07-0116-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Van Grevenhof EM, Hazewinkel HAW, Heuven HCM.
