In this episode, host Alyssa Watson, DVM, welcomes back Kate Barnes, DVM, MS, DACVS-SA, to talk about her recent Clinician’s Brief article, “Localizing Pelvic Limb Lameness on Orthopedic Examination in Dogs.” Dr. Barnes presents her stepwise approach to evaluating a patient with possible pelvic limb lameness and includes tips for assessing patient gait as well as joint function. She also shares how to grade patellar luxation and why braces might not be the best treatment for stifle injuries. Listen to learn the acronym Dr. Barnes uses to make sure she doesn’t miss any findings when palpating the joints.
