  1. Results are expressed as mean (SD). #Significant (P <0.05) difference present between the surgically treated and contralateral pelvic limbs. *Significant (P <0.05) difference present in the measured value between the limbs treated with intracapsular and osteotomy techniques.
  2. CTL, contralateral thoracic limb; ITL, ipsilateral thoracic limb; STPL, surgically treated pelvic limb; CPL, contralateral pelvic limb; TL, thoracic limb; PL, pelvic limb, PVF, peak vertical force; VI, vertical impulse; DPVF, percentage distribution of peak vertical forces on each limb; SWB%, static weight bearing reported as percentages proportional to body mass; NA, not analyzed due to the low number of dogs in extracapsular group; NE, SWB% is not evaluated for thoracic limbs.
