HEMIMELIA RADIAL EM UM EXEMPLAR DA ESPÉCIE FELINA.

Hemimelia is uncommon in the feline species, and it is equivalent to hypoplasia or agenesis of paired bones. The study aimed to report a case of radius agenesis in a cat. A cat had changes in the forelimbs. The patient underwent physical examination, followed by radiographic evaluation. The forelimbs had rotational deformity, medially bent. Radiographs showed bilateral absence of the radius. The description of total radius hemimelia (agenesis) is essential to alert to its occurrence in feline clinical medicine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
