Default What's a "stifle"

I got a 6 year old (rehomed) about a month ago. She looks like she has a little limp, and it seems difficult for her to stand and walk when she first gets up from lying down a while.The lady I got her from in Arizona never mentioned this to me prior to receiving her. When I brought it up to her, she said "yes, I thought I mentioned to you before she had a stifle". Uh, no you didn't.My vet said she apeared to have been "cage kept", always lying on the one leg. It about broke my heart to picture her in a wire cage all the time! Anyone have any info or tips for me & My Rita?
