The deep cotyloid cavity renders disarticulation difficult and luxation does not often take place. Falls or violent strains are necessary to produce this luxation. Goubaux is quoted by Cadiot and Almy as having observed the head of the femur in an instance wherein luxation had long existed. Luxation of the femur is observed in old emaciated animals that are worked on slippery pavements.
The femeropelvic articulation is formed by the hemispherical head of the femur and the acetabulum; the latter constituting a cotyloid cavity which is deepened by the cotyloid ligament. It is inserted or blends with the prepubic tendon. This ligament prevents extreme abduction of the leg.
