  • Title: Ancillary diagnostic techniques for the lame patient.
    Author: Radlinsky MA.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 2001 Jan; 31(1):181-92, vii. PubMed ID: 11787261.
    Abstract:
    The cause of lameness is usually identified through evaluation of signalment, history, and physical examination. Radiographic evaluation provides a definitive diagnosis in many cases; however, laboratory evaluation may prove useful in the characterization of certain conditions or in the prognostication of the condition. In some instances where the definitive diagnosis remains elusive, arthroscopic examination is a minimally invasive diagnostic tool that may be more affordable and available than computed tomography. This article reviews laboratory evaluation of the lame patient and arthroscopic evaluation of joint abnormalities.
