The hindquarters, or hindlimb assembly begins with the pelvis and the thigh bone (femur), which forms approximately 110 degree angle at its point of articulation with the ball and socket of the hip joint. At its distal end it articulates with the bones of the true leg, (tibia and fibula) at the knee (stifle joint). Distally, these two bones join to form the hock. The hind paw, or ankle, consists of seven tarsal bones (hock), five metatarsals (pastern), and the phalanges (the toes). Together, the many bones of the hindlimb complement the front assembly to create the dog’s running gear. Properly constructed and perfectly balanced, they efficiently produce and recycle energy with every step. A true marvel of engineering.
