Competence in evaluating lameness is vital for the veterinary practitioner. This skill is becoming even more important with the increasing popularity of large-breed dogs and the corresponding increase in the number of developmental orthopedic problems seen on a day-to-day basis. A proper physical examination of the lame patient is essential to the management of the case. This article reviews the initial evaluation of the lame veterinary patient without dwelling on the specific differential diagnoses and corresponding treatments.
