Forty‐four cases of intertarsal subluxation and eight cases of tarso‐metatarsal subluxation in the dog are reported. The anatomical features of the hock related to these conditions are briefly considered. There was evidence that the Shetland Sheepdog is predisposed to intertarsal subluxation and in this breed minimal trauma was associated with the occurrence of the condition. The history, clinical and radiographic features are reported for each condition and the methods and results of treatment described.
