Abstract

Deformities of the long bones of the limbs in dogs are a common pathology of the musculoskeletal system in dogs, have a pronounced functional and cosmetic defect and require complex surgical treatment.
Diagnosis of deformities and planning their treatment is an integral part of successful treatment of curvatures of the limb bones.
This work represents an extrapolation into veterinary orthopedic practice of the CORA medical methodology, modified and expanded to take into account species differences between humans and dogs.
