title: Radiography of bovine foot disorders.
abstract: In a radiographic study of 104 clinical cases of bovine foot disorders, 84 (80.8%) of the affected animals were males, and most were larger than or equal to 4 years old. Phalangeal fractures accounted for 38.5%, arthritis 34.6%, periostitis/exostosis 18.3%, dislocation 5.8% and solar penetration 2.9% of cases. Phalangeal fractures were most common in hindfeet (34/40 cases), with higher incidence in P1 (18) and P3 (15). The incidence of arthritis was higher in hindfeet (24) than in forefeet (12), with the fetlock, pastern and pedal joints being involved in 11, 15 and 10 animals, respectively. Pedal arthritis was usually septic in nature.
