Hi everyone!!!

Well, i´m not a speciallist, but certainly there is a strange "low-position" of the patella and, maybe some osteophites in the trochlea....

Have you notice somethinge strange in the tarsal joint? it seems to have osteophites too in the palmar side ¿¿¿??? maybe a better colimated and positioned x rays can help you.

it's a terrible X-ray - bad positioning and zero collimation. Were they just x-raying the rear half of the animal in the hope that something would show up?

His bendy penis?

That wouldn't be the most unusual feature of her penis, certainly.

Yeah, I can't really sustain this one. But we've told the young vet who took the rads that she doesn't have a fibula on this side. As the AP view was frog-legged, there's no way of disproving this (apart from the obvious overlying opacity through the cortex, of course). Just wanted to see if anybody else would go for it, but we're all too smart of course.

I suspect that when she comes back in for a tibial crest transposition, we'll get another view.

I think maybe there's a lesion of some significance on the cranial aspect of the proximal tibia, just in the dark space of the joint? Otherwise not much major going on that I can see.

There - I've stuck my neck out and I don't even like orthopaedics!!!

Think an AP view might help clarify any lesion if on both views - any lameness?

Dog has a medially luxating patella and is an 8yo rescue Yorkie-X, just presented by the local centre. None of this is particularly relevant, TBH. There's just something about the xray......

More than one view and some history might be a good start?
