Abstract
The following are some of the indications for radiography of the distal extremities: lameness that can be related to a distal extremity; pain on manipulation or palpation of a joint or region; unexplained or unresolved swelling; signs of joint laxity; postural abnormalities, such as hyperextension of a joint or angular limb deformity (valgus or varus malformation); and suspected immune-mediated joint disease. This chapter explains radiography and normal anatomy, alternative imaging techniques and abnormal imaging findings.

(c) Parasagittal and (d) dorsal plane bone window CT images of the tarsus. The tibia (T), fibula (F), calcaneus (C) and fourth tarsal bone (T4) are identified. Note the number of irregular lucent fracture lines separating the comminuted fragments in the dorsal and medial aspect of the base of the calcaneus. There is also an incidental conical lucent focus of a small retained endochondral cartilage core extending proximally from the distal physis of the tibia (arrowed).

(a) ML splayed toe view and (b) DPa view of soft tissue swelling surrounding P2 and P3 of the fourth digit of a dog with subungual squamous cell carcinoma. P3 is osteolucent and, unusually, has not lost the nail, as commonly occurs in such cases. (Courtesy of Winmalee Veterinary Hospital) © 2016 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
