The current study aimed to describe the normal cross sectional anatomy,magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography of fetlock joint inadult camel from both sexes. The study was carried out on twelve fetlockjoints of fresh cadavers from three camels. The case history of these camelsindicated that they were grossly normal with no orthopedic disorders. Thecadaveric fetlock joints (n=12) were scanned using CT scanner and a 1 TeslaMRI scanner, injected with colored latex and sectioned into transverse, dorsaland sagittal slices. Cross anatomical sections were correlated with theircorresponding CT and MR images for evaluation of the normal relevantanatomical structures which appeared with different signal intensities on CTand MRI scans. The current study revealed that all major soft tissues infetlock joint of camel were clearly visualized on both CT and MR images,except the short and cruciate sesamoidean ligaments which could not beidentified on both CT and MR images. The anatomical sections with thecorresponding CT and MR images obtained in this study could be used as areference for diagnosis and interpretation of clinical diseases in fetlock jointof camel.
