Overview:
Angular limb deviation (ALD) is seen most commonly in young foals and canine puppies and is defined as a deviation from the normal axis of the limb in the frontal plane. Two general terms describe the deviation. Valgus refers to a lateral (outward) deviation of the limb distal to, or below, the point of the deformity. Varus refers to medial (inward) deviation of the limb distal to the point of the deformity. The most common deviation seen in young foals is lateral deviation which originates at the level of the carpus (knee), known as carpus valgus.
