Notes:


Our last case is Magnet, an 11-year-old male from The Baltimore Zoo. He jumped into a partially filled swimming pool and was subsequently non-weight-bearing lame in the right forelimb. Physical exam revealed instability and crepitus in the right forelimb. Unfortunately we didn’t have a great radiograph that included both fractures but, in this radiograph, we can see the radial fracture.

RADIUS - mid-diaphyseal, mildly comminuted short-obliqued fracture
ULNA - distal ulnar metaphyseal short obliqued fracture with comminution
