Many studies have described the normal and
pathologic ultrasonographic appearance of the musculoskeletal system in cattle.
However, these previous studies present few images and descriptions of the
aspect of this system in calves. The aim of this anatomic study was to describe
the normal ultrasonographic examination of the forelimb joints in 1- to
2-month-old Holstein calves, as well as to present the techniques used to
acquire the images. The joint regions of the forelimbs of four cadaver calves
were studied. Six forelimbs were evaluated by ultrasonography using a 13.0MHz
linear transducer. The images acquired were compared with those acquired with
other imaging techniques (six forelimbs were x-rayed, three forelimbs were
scanned using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) and compared with anatomical
pieces (one forelimb was dissected, four forelimbs were frozen and sectioned
for frozen slides) to finally label the different structures visualized on
ultrasonographic pictures. The soft tissues, cartilaginous structures and bone
surfaces showed similar echogenicity to what has been previously described.
