Description
Goetz, Hockman, and Willey review rabbit models of hip dysplasia in twenty twenty-six. Hip dysplasia means a shallow hip socket that can lead to arthritis. Whether correcting it protects cartilage is unknown. Rabbits are used to study the deformity and its surgery before human trials.
The review found twenty-one studies that created dysplasia in rabbit hips. The commonest method fixed the knee straight in young rabbits. Starting younger and lasting longer made the deformity worse. The model can mimic both infant dislocation and adult shallow sockets. In the few surgical studies, correction reduced cartilage damage. The authors say the model suits testing tissue effects across ages.
