Sclerotherapy is one of the leading treatments for the removal of spider veins, reticular veins, and small varicose veins because it is minimally invasive, safe, and relatively pain-free.
The metatarsal bones, or metatarsus are a group of five long bones in the foot, located between the tarsal bones of the hind-and mid-foot and the phalanges of the toes.he base of each metatarsal bone articulates with one or more of the tarsal bones at the tarsometatarsal joints, and the head with one of the first row of phalanges at the metatarsophalangeal joints.
In dogs, the metacarpal bones are numbered 1 to 5 from medial to lateral; metatarsal bones are numbered 2 through 5. A first metatarsal may rarely be present. Each bone consists of a proximal base, a body, and distal head.Metacarpals and metatarsals 2 through 5 articulate with the carpal or tarsal bones proximally and their corresponding phalanges distally.n one study, six of eight dogs with metacarpal/metatarsal fractures due to motor vehicle trauma had additional fractures or orthopedic injury. Potentially life-threatening conditions often accompany major trauma and must be managed before injuries to the metacarpals or metatarsals are considered.
