Curious.  When we submitted Gabe's PennHip, only some 30 pyrs had been
done - do you know how many they have accumulated in the past 3-4 years
since then?  He got a 0.20/0.23 score and later an OFA "Good" - judging
by the fact that he was near the 90th percentile on the PennHips that
had been done, I was a tad surprised that he didn't get an Excellent
(not that it matters, just looking for a correlation).  The main reason
we did this was to compare the two systems - of course, we keep not
remembering to send the Xrays in to GDC...

Maybe the early PennHips were "looser" than average and that is why he
was so high up in the sample although your "high 0.2-low 0.3" suggests
otherwise.

I'd be interesting to figure this out...

Patric.
