Abstract :The aim of this study was to determine the normal ranges of proximal femoral and acetabular parameters in 26 adult healthy Sivas Kangal dogs insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SKDs);. Significant differences were observed between the sexes in hip axis length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HAL); of 8.03 ± 0.82 cm and 7.47 ± 0.40 cm, femoral neck axis length-a insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FNALa); of 6.40 ± 0.55 cm and 6.09 ± 0.27 cm, FNALb of 5.09 ± 0.47 cm and 4.78 ± 0.31 cm, acetabular width insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AW); of 1.62 ± 0.35 cm and 1.37 ± 0.24 cm, femoral shaft diameter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FSD); of 3.11 ± 0.31 cm and 2.88 ± 0.21 cm, and acetabular angle insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ACM); of 44.04 ± 3.32° and 42.16 ± 2.94° in males and females, respectively. No significant differences were observed between the sexes in femoral shaft cortex width, femoral head diameter, femoral neck diameter, head-neck index, trochanteric width, femoral inclination angle, external acetabular angle, and acetabulum-head index. Males had longer HAL insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P < 0.01);, FNALa and FNALb insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P < 0.05);, and AW insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P < 0.01); and thicker FSD insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P < 0.01); and wider ACM insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P < 0.05); than bitches. In this study, normal ranges in healthy SKDs of proximal femoral and acetabular parameters related to certain hip joint pathologies in humans were presented.
