but normally with no real health issue, depending on which illness who caused this result, as ED is a term used for many different illnesses(not only dysplacia like in HD) in the elbow.
In the same way HD can be diagnosed with some different illnes, but what caused is was the bad formation in the joint, acetabulum or femoral head.
The Displasy is what cause those problems, that will be used as signal of the bad formation.
The word displasy means bad formation, so, resuming, its a bad formation that will make the elbow or the hips work wrong, causing some problems that you will find in the X rays.
There is the problem os the comparation between HD and ED, a HD dog can be displasic without have any kind of degeneration, if he will futurelly show it or not are other 500, but a ED dog will only get positive when its already have the degeneration.
