Resumen
The case of a horse with a 5 of 5 claudication of the posterior left limb due to traumatic
cause brought to the veterinary clinic Hermano Octavio Martínez López f. s. c is
described. A general clinic test was performed, emphasizing the locomotor system.
A dislocation in the hip joint was found, and it was confirmed by the ultrasonography
test performed on the entire hip region. An evident separation of the femoral head and the left acetabulum could be seen, using the
right hip as a reference. Given the prognosis of the
affection, the animal´s sacrifice was authorized.
Then, the hip´s dislocation was confirmed and so
was the level of tissue damage around the zone,
because of the femoral head´s displacement in
a head to back direction. The main objective of
this report is to show how ultrasonography is an
efficient diagnostic aid for this kind of cases.
