Categories of change registered. a Dorsal-35°-proximal-45°lateral projection of the left hind fetlock of horse 15. There is a focal, uniformly radiolucent defect (between arrows) in the lateral half of the plantaro-proximal contour of the first phalanx, referred to as a fragment bed. There is also a mineralised body (between arrowheads), referred to as a fragment. b Dorsal-45°-medial oblique screening projection of the left hock of a female Warmblood horse at 46 months old, diagnosed with sepsis at 6 days old; there is a pointy, bone radiopaque protrusion (between arrows) at the distal end of the lateral trochlear ridge of the talus, referred to as a spur. c At 4 months and 10 days old, the projection demonstrates focal, radiolucent defects (between arrows; osteochondrosis) in the contour at the same site as the spur in b
