This is an 11 yr old f/s pit bull terrier.History of favoring rh leg since June. Not improving on nsaid marked muscle atrophy. We have a discussion going here about the lytic foci and the tibial changes. The debate is neoplasia vs old ACL???

A full evaluation of DICOM
A full evaluation of DICOM images would sure be useful in this case. Based on what I can see here I would consider this chronic degenerative.
Thanks we will encourage them
Thanks we will encourage them to allow us to submit for full evaluation.

To me this fits best with chronic ACL disease. You have sclerosis at the insertion point of the cranial cruciate ligament on the condyle of the distal femur. There are also marked degenerative changes over the ; distal patella, trochlea and fabellas. The joint capsule seems a little distended as well but not as much as expected. You may also want to try ultrasounding ther meniscus to see if there is a concurrent tear in it.
