| Abstract | ||
| The aim of the present study was to grossly dissect the stifle joint and to compare its anatomical structures with that of other small domesticated animals. Dissection of twelve stifles joints from six Baladi and New Zealand rabbits of different ages and sexes was conducted. Conventional radiography and cast preparations of the joints was performed. Digital images were shot using Sony cyber-shot DSC F 717 digital camera. The study revealed a great similarity between bony and ligamentous structures of the stifle joint in the dog and rabbit. However structural variations of the stifle joint among domesticated animals are discussed | ||
