History

A 6-year-old castrated male Belgian Sheepdog was presented following a 20-foot fall from a ledge onto grass. On presentation, the dog was toe-touching lame on the left forelimb, with evident swelling of the left carpus. Remaining findings on physical examination and point-of-care bloodwork were within reference limits. Two-view radiographic images of the left carpus were obtained (Figure 1).
