Canine Hip

Explore the Canine Hip in Three Dimensions

The canine hip is easier to understand when students can see how its structures fit and move together. This model provides a hands-on way to examine the anatomy of the hip and the relationship between the femoral head, acetabulum, pelvis, and surrounding joint structures.

Students can use the model alongside anatomy instruction to strengthen spatial understanding before progressing into orthopedic examination, diagnostic imaging, lameness evaluation, and discussions of conditions affecting the canine hip.

For instructors, the model provides a practical demonstration tool for explaining joint anatomy and showing anatomical relationships that can be difficult to communicate using illustrations alone.
