https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/25038/rta---acetabular-fracture I wasn&#39;t sure where to post this as I&#39;m not sure it&#39;s surgical but would appreciate opinions on these pelvic radiographs please. The radiographs are of a 10 month-old border collie who ran away from his owner yesterday and was hit by a van.

I think depending on progress I might re-take them in a couple of weeks to see how that area is progressing and will definitely do a lateral then. I&#39;m also a bit concerned about the potential impact for the joint in the future if there is a fracture there - I don&#39;t think the hip looks brilliant anyway in the straight view and the owners now report previous hindlimb lameness although they can&#39;t agree which leg!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks also for your comments about the xrays, sad as it may seem that really made my day!&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/168125?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 08 Nov 2016 16:53:48 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:e1abeefc-3124-4ba4-919a-7563cf3df291Anthony Dennison<p>I agree with everything Neil has said (including how nice the xrays are)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/168122?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 08 Nov 2016 16:44:52 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:a23c8d98-d0b3-4f50-8f3c-80a9941ed9efNeil Wheadon<p>OK I&#39;ll go first</p> <p>There may? be something on the caudal right acetabulum, there a line of radioluscency.
