Abstract

Specific diagnosis of orthopedic disease can be diffcult in canine practice. Failure to detect the clinical signs of a disorder during physical examination of dogs with acute or chronic lameness is the most common reason for failure to make specific diagnosis. A 6-month-old, female doberman with history of swelling and non-weight-bearing lameness in the left forelimb was referred to Beterinary Teaching Hospital of Chungbuk National University. Physical examination, plain radiography, and conventional three-phase radionuclide bone scan were performed in the patient. Based on the physical exam and radiography, this case was diagnosed as elbow strain and subluxation. Conventional three-phase bone scan detected soft tissue inflammation and osteochondral lesions of elbow joint, and revealed good agreement with clinical findings. Therefore, conventional three-phase bone scan was able to provide the precise information about inflammation of soft tissue and osteochondral lesions of joint.
