A. M. Abu-Seida, M. B. Mostafa and O. S. Al-Abbadi

Abstract: This report presents a rare case of hemimelia with anterolateral calcaneal subluxation in a buffalo calf. The malformed calf was born from underfed dam which was naturally inseminated by unrelated bull. Neither the parents nor offsprings of the dam had hemimelia. The right malformed limb ended at hock joint and had two fused rudimentary claws and declaws. The malformed hock joint was immovable in both active and passive movements and had nearly straight angle. Achilles tendon deviated laterally. Radiographic findings included complete absence of all structures distal to the right hock joint, small tibia and tarsal bones and anterolateral subluxated calcaneus.
