Abstract Background Joint lesions occur widespread in the Danish sow population and they are the most frequent cause for euthanasia. Clinically it is generally impossible to differentiate between various types of non-inflammatory joint lesions.

A study was performed in order to examine the relation of abnormal gait and posture in sows with specific joint lesions and thereby obtaining a clinical diagnostic tool to be used by farmers and veterinarians for the evaluation of sows with joint problems. Methods The gait posture and lesions in elbow- and knee joints of 60 randomly selected sows from one herd were scored clinically and pathologically. Associations between the scorings were .
