  • Genetic Mapping of Legg Calve Perthes Disease  
    August 4, 2015
    Legg Calve Perthes Disease (avascular necrosis of the femoral head) affects dogs. A genetic basis is suspected.
    Dr Todhunter is looking for dogs with Legg Calve Perthes Disease.

  • Hereditary Evaluation of Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease in Toy and Miniature Breeds  
    November 3, 2008
    Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease (LCPD) is a developmental disorder affecting the hip joint of small-breed puppies. Our study aims to identify (1) the mode of inheritance of LCPD in several small breeds and (2) candidate genes that may either cause the disease or be involved in the disease process through whole-genome association mapping.

  • Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy (HOD): Identifying the Genes Responsible  
    December 31, 2013
    This study aims to identify the molecular cause for hypertrophic osteodystrophy. HOD is a familial disorder with an unknown etiology.

  • The Use of a Minimally Invasive Integrated Endoscopic System to Perform Hemilaminectomies in Chondrodystrophic Dogs with Thoracolumbar Intervertebral Disc Extrusions  
    December 28, 2020
    To evaluate the use of a minimally invasive approach to perform hemilaminectomies in certain dogs with intervertebral disc herniations. A secondary goal is to compare the MIS hemilaminectomy to the standard approach. Where available, the long-term outcome of patients will also be included.
    Dr Bartner is looking for chondrodystrophic dogs (e.g. Dachshunds) with acute thoracolumbar disc disease requiring surgery. See the trial page for specific information on eligibility.
