Radiography has been widely used to classify and assess the degree of injuries that cause lameness. This study reports a radiographic study of the distal extremities of locomotor limbs. Scoring distribution considered limbs with and without malformations, and related lameness and the severity of digital injuries to radiographic images. A total of 50 confined male cattle presenting locomotor disorders, with or without digital alteration, were evaluated, of which 86% were affected by lameness. As regards severity of impairment, 14% of animals' injuries were mild, 20% moderate, 52% severe, and 14% profound. Analysis of 200 limbs revealed that only 29,5% had digital injuries, which included multiple lesions (40,7%), septic pododermatitis (32,2%), interdigital dermatitis (11,9%), heel-horn erosion (8,5%), and digital dermatitis (68%). According to the radiographic evaluation, 25,5% of the extremities presented some kind of digital alteration. The main injuries were: degenerative joint disease (27,5%), osteitis (19,6%), periostitis (15,7%), septic arthritis in distal interphalangeal joints (11,8%), calcification of deep flexor tendon (7,8%), and extensor tendon (5,9%). Results indicate a relationship between the presence of lameness, digital injuries and radiographic alterations. Locomotion scores, associated with podal injury and radiographic examinations, helped in the diagnosis of lameness.
