01 /What's visible

Canine ventrodorsal pelvis + bilateral stifles from the CUVET teaching set. Extends a standard Norberg-positioning VD caudally to capture both femorotibial joints — femoral condyles, tibial plateaus, and fabellae visible on both sides. Useful for stifle symmetry screening and as a one-image hindlimb reference.

02 / Landmarks

  • Femoral heads + acetabula (paired)
  • Femoral diaphysis (paired)
  • Femoral condyles (medial + lateral · paired)
  • Tibial plateau (paired)
  • Fabellae (medial + lateral sesamoids)
