Figure 1: Preoperative lateral projection |
This 7-year old Warmblood/ Draught cross was being used for dressage when lameness
first appeared. Hindlimb flexion was positive on the right, and diagnostic
anesthesia performed by injection of a local anesthetic agent into the right
distal intertarsal joint was positive. Radiographs showed osteolytic and
periosteal proliferative surrounding the affected joint. The third tarsal
bone may be somewhat misshapen indicative of an earlier defect in cuboidal bone
ossification. (See Figure 1).
