An incidental osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesion was found in a left tarsus of a 3-year-old Freiberger stallion presented for a prepurchase examination. The lesion was best visualized on the dorsomedial-plantarolateral oblique and dorsoplantar projections. A standing computed tomographic examination confirmed a fragmentation of the dorsodistolateral aspect of the calcaneus. In suspected OCD lesions at the distal aspect of the talus or calcaneus, a dorsoplantar projection of the tarsus improves lesion localization and could be added to the standard radiographic protocol during OCD screenings. Computed tomography allowed more detailed evaluation of a not previously described calcaneal origin of this uncommon presumed OCD lesion in the equine tarsus.
