Abstract:
Fractures of the accessory carpal bone in 35 racing Greyhounds were classified into five types. Type I fractures (27 fractures) involved the distal articular surface of the accessory carpal bone, type II (6 fractures) were of the proximal articular margin, type III (1 fracture) were at the origin of the accessorometacarpal ligaments, type IV (6 fractures) were avulsion fractures at the tendon of insertion of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle, and type V (3 fractures) were comminuted fractures.
