Fractures and luxations of the pelvis and proximal femur
Vet Clin North Am Food Anim Pract.

Abstract
Although lameness caused by fractures and luxations of the pelvis and proximal femur are rare, they are serious and often end an animal's productive life unless properly diagnosed and promptly treated. Diagnosis of these injuries is difficult without special radiographic equipment; however, careful physical examination will often lead to a tentative diagnosis. Coxofemoral luxations and slipped capital epiphysis are two of these life-threatening injuries. This article discusses their diagnosis and possible options for treatment, which can lead to a useful, productive life. The diagnosis of other pelvic injuries is discussed, although these injuries are often not as amenable to treatment.
