A distal radial fracture is a break involving the lower third of the radius, often near or extending into the radiocarpal joint.
It is one of the most common long bone fractures in dogs, particularly in toy and small breeds, due to their fragile bone structure and limited soft-tissue support around the distal limb.
A 2-year-old male mixed-breed dog was presented with acute non–weight-bearing lameness of the right forelimb after being hit by a car.
The owner reported sudden pain and swelling around the distal forelimb, with the dog unable to bear weight immediately following the incident. No prior orthopedic history was noted.
