Findings

Orthogonal radiographs of the pelvis are available for interpretation. Bilaterally there is severe remodeling of the coxofemoral joints and associated subluxation, slighlty worse on the right side. There is loss of demarcation between the femoral head and neck, the femoral heads are squared and severely sclerotic. There is also severe sclerosis of both acetabuli with severe remodeling due to the presence of osteophytes and enthesiophytes. Subjectively there is bilateral muscular atrophy

Diagnosis

Bilateral coxofemoral degenerative joint disease and associated subluxation likely secondary to underlying hip dysplasia.
