What's Your Radiographlc Diagnosis? continued from page 32 Radiographic diagnosis Type I right capital femoral physeal fracture. Discussion Numerous reports of the occurrence and management of the "slipped capital femoral physis" (Type I physeal fracture) of the bovine are available in the veterinary literature. I -4 In the neonatal calf this fracture most commonly occurs in the larger, heavily lhuscled breeds: MaineAnjou, Charolais, and Simmental. In one report of 28 calves, the majority were associated with traction deliveries. 2 The same study reported an approximate 1.5 times greater incidence in heifer versus bull calves. The fracture was generally unilateral. Lameness is generally exhibited at or shortly after birth; however, some calves may not show lameness for several days to week.s following delivery. Crepitation with manipulation of the femur and hip suggests differential diagnoses of femoral diaphyseal fracture, coxofemoral luxation, pelvic fractures, or capital femoral physeal fractures. Radiography is necessary for definitive diagnosis. Either the froglegged or extended femur ventrodorsal view of the pelvis and hip joints produces satisfactory images.

Surgical and non-surgical treatment have been used to manage these fractures. I -4 If the calf is a bull calf intended for breeding, surgical repair is recommended. Femoral head removal has been suggested to reduce . pain in the calf to be kept for early slaughter. Non-surgical treatment is likely to result in greater pain due to development of secondary osteoarthritis. Although few long term assessment studies have been done, the gen~ eral success of treatment of the neonatal calves .intended for breeding is less than 50%.2+ References 1. Ferguson JG.
