FCI ratings for hip and elbow dysplasia
http://www.fci.be/uploaded_files/77-2001.pdf

The numbers are elbow ratings, as designated by the IEWG (International Elbow Working Group)

 

For Hip Displasia : A – Normal ; B – Transitional ; C - Light ; D - Medium ; E - Severe

For Elbow Displasia: 0 - Normal ; 1 - osteofite less than 2mm ; 2 - osteofite between 2 and 5 mm ; 3 - osteofite more than 5 mm.
 

with regards to OFA this rating includes the bottom part of good and all of borderline.
with regards to SV it would be considered a(2) fast normal.

Hi Kim:  I was looking for that info you posted a short while back but was unable to find it again,  so thanks  Nan

B. Anderson:  wow interesting those hips look pretty good to me.  Thx for posting for info.  Nan

yep look A2 hips to me... 

Per Fred Lanting.

In SOME breeds, the FCI HD rating is further broken down into subcategories A1, A2, B1, B2, and so on.

The german shepherd dog is NOT one of those breeds.

A rating of "B 1/2" would indicate...

B: Transitional, Nearly normal hip joints - Fast normal
1/2: Mild osteoarthrosis in one elbow (<2mm), and Moderate osteoarthrosis in the other (2-5mm)

For Hip Displasia:
A – Normal, No signs of hip dysplasia
B – Transitional, Nearly normal hip joints - Fast normal
C - Light, Mild hip dysplasia
D - Medium, Moderate hip dysplasia
E - Severe, Severe hip dysplasia

For Elbow Displasia:
0 - Normal, No signs of elbow dysplasia
1 - Mild osteoarthrosis, osteofite less than 2mm
2 - Moderate signs of osteoarthrosis, osteofite between 2 and 5 mm
3 - Severe signs of osteoarthrosis, osteofite more than 5 mm.

Oh, and an FCI "A2" rating is not to be confused with the SV rating of "a2".
