Joint Dysplasia is a condition where the bones that form a joint do not fit together properly. This misalignment can lead to joint instability, pain, and increased wear and tear on the joint over time. It is commonly seen in animals, particularly in large breeds like German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers, but can also affect humans. The condition often develops during growth and can be influenced by genetics, nutrition, and environment. Early diagnosis and treatment, which may include physical therapy or surgery, can help manage symptoms and improve joint function, reducing the risk of arthritis later in life.
