so we finally got the xrays . This series was taken to determine the extent of the damage and to make sure it was torn and not just arthritis, all I can tell you is that the "fingernail" size deep white is arthritis and they were amazed at her point of injury that she had so little of it and said it was because of the glucosamine we give her.
we asked them to check her hips while she was out also , we were worried about hip dysplasia because of her limp when she was 6-9 months old. if you follow the line of the socket and it covers at least 50% of the ball joint then thats great! and there is no sign or hint of dysplasia, Brina's hips passed with flying colors.
the next xrays were taken just before/during surgery to determine the angle
then after surgery before they awoke her, note the staples.
