dorso-palmar and latero-medial radiographs. When the distal interphalangeal joint was inadvertently injected with contrast, a small correction in needle angle resulted in accurate bursal injection before MRI was performed.
LAMENESS: DIAGNOSTIC ANALGESIA, MEDICATIONS, AND PHYSIOLOGIC EFFECTS 4. Conclusions
With the use of the 1-Tesla MRI to gauge tissue penetration, the lateral approach of the navicular bursa appears to avoid penetration of the DDFT and the palmar fibrocartilage.
