Diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the foot, infectious arthritis, angular limb deformities, patellar luxation, tendon contracture and injuries, and fractures encountered in sheep, goats, llamas, and deer are reviewed. These species share similar orthopedic problems to cattle, but management conditions, particularly for pet animals, may place special demands on the veterinarian treating these disease conditions. The mild temperament and relatively small body size of these animals make them excellent candidates for treatment of orthopedic problems often not amenable to practical treatment in larger or more fractious animals.
本文综述了绵羊、山羊、美洲驼和鹿足部疾病、感染性关节炎、四肢角状畸形、髌骨脱位、肌腱挛缩与损伤以及骨折的诊断和治疗。这些物种与牛存在相似的骨科问题，但管理条件，尤其是宠物的管理条件，可能对治疗这些疾病的兽医提出特殊要求。这些动物性情温顺且体型相对较小，使其成为治疗骨科问题的理想对象，而这些问题在体型较大或性情较暴躁的动物中往往难以实际治疗。
