Figure 6.2.2 Carpal Fracture (Canine) CT
2y M Weimaraner with thoracic limb lameness
of 6 weeks’ duration. On carpal radiographs
(a,b), there is a fracture with indistinct mar-
gins visible in the radiocarpal bone (a: arrow).
The comparable dorsal plane CT image shows
the fracture with surrounding sclerosis, indi-
cating chronicity (c: arrow). There is moderate
displacement of the fragment medially on the
transverse image acquired at the level of the
proximal row of carpal bones (d: arrowhead).
The irregularity of the fracture margins and
sclerosis are again visible.
