What is 'elbow displasia'?

Hip displasia (or dysplasia) is very often found in german shepards, though it does occur in other breeds. It is caused by a misalignment in the hip joint. Hip displasia usually leads to lameness in older animals. In severe cases pain and even paralysis of the back limbs can occur. It can also occur in the front limbs where it is generally referred to as elbow displasia.
