Bilmont et al: Assessment of BFX cup version in a three-dimensional model simulating the ventrodorsal radiographic view
Veterinary Surgery 1, 2025

🔍 Key Findings

• Open face version was significantly greater than truncated face version by 14°–22° (p <.001).
• Open face version increased linearly with inclination and pelvic extension, while truncated face version remained largely stable.
• Truncated face version is an unreliable surrogate for open face version.
• Accurate interpretation of cup version should include both truncated face version and inclination.
• Canine 3D pelvic model and CT-based simulation used for all measurements.
