Indications for radiography of the long bones in juvenile animals include: trauma; persistent or shifting lameness; abnormal gait; disparate limb length; dwarfism; angular, flexural or rotational limb deformities and carpal valgus or varus; pain on palpation of one or more long bones; soft tissue swelling or draining sinus tract overlying a long bone; metaphyseal enlargement; evaluation of fractures or fracture healing; and suspected metabolic or systemic illness which may have skeletal manifestations. This chapter looks at radiography, normal anatomy and physiology, alternative imaging techniques and abnormal image findings.
