2y M German Shepherd Dog with left pelvic limb lameness after jumping while playing ball. On radiographs of the left tarsus, there
is soft‐tissue swelling surrounding the distal tibia and fibula (a: open arrows). There is an oblique fracture through the distal fibula
(b,c: arrows) and suspected fracture of the medial malleolus of the tibia (b: arrowhead). CT images are oriented in the dorsal plane
(e,f). The fibular fracture is clearly defined. The tibial fracture is articular and moderately displaced (f: arrowhead). The 3D image
depicts both fractures relative to the tarsus (d).
