This work is intended as a practical atlas that provides a comprehensive description of the anatomy of each component found in a dog’s articulations. However, in this updated edition of Atlas of Canine Arthrology, the information provided in the previous version has been enhanced and complemented with new tools, 3D animations, and self-evaluation tests that will help readers acquire knowledge and form a better understanding of joint anatomy and function elements of great importance for each dog’s physical health and well-being.
