In another thread it was mentioned that some breeders rely more on the results for grading elbows from an orthopedic specialist as opposed to OFA. Is it common for the 2 agencies to differ a lot on the reading of elbow x-rays? I could be wrong, but I thought the reading of elbows was much more straight forward (as opposed to hips). Is this becoming more the norm for grading elbows? For those of you that prefer using an orthopedic specialist, do you then usually put the actual documentation sheet supporting the grade for the dog on your website? If there is a definite pattern of OFA reading the x-rays very differently, is there a way to bring this discrepancy to OFA's attention so that they can re-examine their process?
