Radiographic determination of the quadriceps angle in cats shows good to excellent repeatability but moderate reproducibility

To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the radiographic Q-angle in a population of cats. It can be used as a supplementary tool for anatomic evaluation. Further studies are needed to determine its usefulness, especially in the planning of corrective surgeries.
