Second Opinion ...

Since we were not totally convinced with the outcome done by DOCA (= Het Diergeneeskundig Orthopedisch Centrum Amsterdam) relating to possible ED, we decided to have ourselves a 'blind' second opinion. The advantage of the "blind" second opinion is that it cannot be influenced by previous information, unless you provide information concerning the earlier diagnose.

Frank Viehoff, a surgeon with Universiteitskliniek, Utrecht, provided the same medical prognosis; Elbow Dysplasia. Both LPC and a incongruent. Based on the Xrays made and the swell on both elbows. Since the Xray gives you a 2 dimentional image only he suggested to have a CT-scan made at the Lingehoeve, Lienden. If there are still doubts about whether Philippe has any form of ED, the 3 dimentional image made by a CT-scan can help us to determain the facts.
