“…In the case described by Lin et al [ 47 ], changes in the signal, indicating swelling and alterations in the thickness of the Achilles tendon, were easily visible. The use of a contrast agent facilitates identification and enables the confirmation of the presence of a neoplastic process or inflammation within the joint [ 47 ]. MRI has the potential to replace CT in the diagnosis of OCD.…”

“…It allows the visualization of the tendons and all surrounding structures in one image, which enables the assessment of anatomical relationships between them. It can complement an ultrasound, allowing for the accurate high-resolution imaging of a tendon injury [ 47 ].

“…Magnetic resonance imaging allows for the visualization of tendons and adjacent soft tissue structures in high resolution, multiplanar images ( Figure 5 ). A case report by Lin et al [ 47 ] is the first and only description of the use of MRI in the diagnosis of an Achilles tendon injury in a dog. The tissue at the site of the tendon tear is homogeneous and hyperintense in T2-weighted images, which is similar to previously reported findings in human medicine [ 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 ].…”

Tarsus lesions are not common in dogs, but they can cause serious health problem. They can lead to permanent changes in the joint and, in dogs involved in canine sports, to exclusion from training. The most common diseases and injuries involving the tarsal joint are osteochondrosis, fractures and ruptures of the Achilles tendon. These conditions can be diagnosed primarily through accurate orthopedic examination, but even this may be insufficient for performing a proper diagnosis. Imaging modalities such as radiography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography can facilitate the detection and assessment of lesions in the canine tarsal joint. This review paper briefly presents some characteristics of the above-mentioned imaging techniques, offering a comparison of their utility in the diagnosis of lesions and injuries involving the canine tarsus.

This report describes a dog diagnosed with insertional biceps tendinopathy that was palliated with intra-articular triamcinolone acetonide injections. The patient was a 6-year-old spayed female Chihuahua dog that had left thoracic limb lameness for 3 months before presentation. On physical examination, moderate pain was elicited by performing the biceps test and isolated full elbow extension on the left thoracic limb.Gait analysis showed asymmetrical peak vertical force and vertical impulse between thoracic limbs. Computed tomography (CT) revealed enthesophyte formation on the ulnar tuberosity of the left elbow joint. Ultrasonography showed a heterogeneous fibre pattern at the biceps tendon insertion site on the left elbow joint. These findings confirmed insertional biceps tendinopathy based on physical examination, CT and ultrasonography results. The dog received an intra-articular triamcinolone acetonide injection with hyaluronic acid in the left elbow joint. Clinical signs improved after the first injection, including a range of motion, pain and gait. A second injection was given in the same manner because of recurring mild lameness 3 months later. No clinical signs were observed during the follow-up period.

A 1‐year‐8‐month‐old, male, neutered Maine Coon presented to a referral veterinary hospital for a weight‐bearing lameness of the left thoracic limb that occurred 4 weeks prior to presentation. A transverse groove, proximal to the olecranon, was palpated in the area of the normal insertion of the triceps tendon. Computed tomography of the left thoracic limb revealed a complete avulsion of the long and lateral heads of the triceps brachii from the olecranon. Multiple, small, mineralised fragments were present within the distal portion of the retracted tendons of insertion, and there were corresponding osseous defects within the olecranon. A modified three‐loop pulley suture technique was utilised to fix the triceps tendon to the olecranon. The joint was then immobilised with a trans‐articular external skeletal fixator. Three months after surgery, the owners reported no abnormalities or concerns regarding the cat's elbow or ambulation.
