Looking this up for human Atatomy & Physiology class. As it also applies to humans, the dog references seem... odd.
Actually canine hip dysplasia is more common than human dysplasia.
[edit] Removal of recent edit
I removed the following statement recently added to the article:
- Vitamin C and vitamin E, with or without selenium, has been observed to consistently reduce and even relieve lameness from hip dysplasia within a few days.
As far as I know this is not true. Of course vitamins are essential in healing damaged tissue, but I don't think it is quite to that extent. A reference would be helpful. --Joelmills 21:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

- These are antioxidants, and will reduce free radicals. Whilst they can help generally in any bodily repair issue, I'm not aware that they can reverse macro-scale degenrative conditions in the way suggested. I second its removal pending reliable medical source that they are specifically effecatious rather than "just folklore".
