RESUMO
A 6-month-old warmblood filly had traumatic rupture in the gastrocnemius and superficial digital flexor muscles of the left hind limb. A modified Thomas splint-cast combination, which was custom fitted to the limb, was placed to prevent further disruption of the caudal reciprocal apparatus. The external coaptation device was removed after 21 days. The horse developed lesions consistent with osteochondrosis of the femoropatellar articulation within 8 weeks of the initial injury. Examination of the horse 6 months after injury revealed fibrous healing of the muscles and restoration of caudal reciprocal apparatus function. There was no obvious difference in the external appearance of the hind limbs.

A strain injury to the infraspinatus muscle was a potential cause of forelimb lameness in a dog. Ultrasonography was used for evaluation of infraspinatus muscle injury. The ultrasonographic appearance of a typical infraspinatus muscle, contracture of an infraspinatus muscle, acute strain of an infraspinatus muscle, and progression of healing of the infraspinatus muscle are described.

A 2-mo-old, 90-kg, intact male camel (Camelus dromedarius) was admitted for surgical removal of a supernumerary digit associated with the medial aspect of the right carpus and metacarpus. Radiographic views of the carpus and metacarpus revealed the supernumerary digit articulating with the middle carpal joint via an extra carpal bone. The supernumerary digit consisted of three bones. Surgical removal of the supernumerary digit was recommended to restore normal limb conformation, limit the possibility of future lameness, and improve the cosmetic appearance of the limb. Complete surgical removal of the digit was performed by disarticulating the extra carpal bone from its attachments to the second and radial carpal bones. One year after surgery, the leg appeared grossly normal and the camel showed no sign of lameness.
