Chapter Four The Appendicular Skeleton 541<br />

Fig. 4-86 A 4-week-old female Malamute from a litter of puppies was<br />

evaluated for dwarfism. A, Anteroposterior radiographs of both carpi<br />

were obtained. The distal radial <strong>and</strong> ulnar metaphyses are widened <strong>and</strong><br />

irregular. The distal ulnar metaphysis does not have the expected cone<br />

shape. B, On radiographs obtained at 9 months of age, an angular limb<br />

deformity is apparent, especially when compared with a normal littermate.<br />

The distal ulnar metaphysis is irregular <strong>and</strong> an area of cartilage<br />

remains uncalcified. The proximal radioulnar joint is misaligned <strong>and</strong><br />

the radius is bowed. Diagnosis: Malamute dwarfism.<br />
