HOW TO TAKE AND INTERPRET RADIOGRAPHS OF THE YOUNG PERFORMANCE HORSE
Fig. 9. The flexed DP highlights the distal palmar/plantar con- dyles of the cannon bone. This view is used to detect condyle fractures on the palmar aspect that are not seen easily on the standard DP view. Image was taken in the non–weight-bearing position.
Fig. 11. Palmar 45° PrL-DMiO. This view is used to highlight the abaxial surface of medial sesamoid bone. This projection can be used for either sesamoid.
Fig. 10. Dorsodistal-palmaroproximal DP of the fetlock. De- spite superimposition of the sesamoids over the fetlock joint, a short, incomplete (dorsal to plantar) condylar fracture can be seen that was not apparent on the standard DP view.
