Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 4-month-old intact male Jindo dog was presented for left hindlimb lameness. On radiographs, a small mineralized piece was identified beneath the apophysis of tibia with no or minimal displacement of apophysis bilaterally. Subsequently, the cranioproximal bony aspect of the tibia changed radiolucent to radiopaque. The left side recovered after surgical management, but the right side was self-limited with conservative management. The diagnosis was partial avulsion fracture of the tibial tuberosity which has been called ‘Osgood-Schlatter disease’ in dogs.
