  • Title: Use of a flexed dorsoplantar radiographic view of the talocrural joint to evaluate lameness in two dogs.
    Author: Miyabayashi T, Biller DS, Manley PA, Matushek KJ.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1991 Sep 01; 199(5):598-600. PubMed ID: 1787119.
    Abstract:
    A flexed dorsoplantar radiographic view of the talocrural joint was a useful additional view to diagnose abnormalities of the lateral trochlear ridge of the talus of 2 dogs. This view outlined the subchondral bone of both trochlear ridges of the talus and the apposing cochlea tibiae of the distal portion of the tibia. The tarsus was flexed at the level of the talocrural joint, and an x-ray beam was centered on the joint. With this additional view, fractures of the lateral trochlear ridge were readily diagnosed. This view would help to demonstrate osteochondral lesions of the lateral trochlear ridge.
