| Abstract: | Ventrodorsal radiographs of the hips of 12 dogs were obtained. Copies of the radiographs were circulated to eight people with instructions for measurement of the angle of inclination of the femoral head and neck by two methods. A high degree of interobserver variation was found with both methods of measuring the angle of inclination. |
