BACKGROUND The maintenance of marmosets in captivity may trigger various disorders. The objective of this study was to provide a radiographic evaluation of the forelimbs and hind limbs of marmosets rescued from illegal wildlife trade and maintained in captivity. METHODS Fourteen marmosets were studied. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Three marmosets were apparently normal. Of the eleven marmosets with radiographic changes in the hind limbs, five had pelvic narrowing and bilateral varus deviation of the femur, with one suggestive of rickets and another of osteomalacia. The other marmosets showed changes such as malunion of acetabular fracture, transtibial amputation, tibial antecurvatum, and knee osteoarthritis. Six marmosets showed alterations in the forelimbs such as radius fracture, scapulohumeral subluxation, and elbow joint incongruence. In conclusion, 78.57% of the marmosets had bone and/or joint changes detected by plain radiography, which were found predominantly in the hind limbs and without impediment to locomotion in captivity.

mos猴的前肢和后肢的放射学评价（Callithrix spp。）。

背景技术mar猴的人工饲养可能会引发各种疾病。这项研究的目的是对从非法野生动植物贸易中获救并被囚禁的mar猴的前肢和后肢进行放射学评估。方法研究了十四只mar猴。结果与结论三个mar猴显然是正常的。在11个后肢放射状变化的mar猴中，有5个骨盆狭窄且股骨双侧内翻，其中一个提示rick病，另一个提示骨软化症。其他mar猴显示出诸如髋臼骨折畸形，胫骨截肢，胫前弯曲和膝骨关节炎等变化。六个mar猴显示出前臂的改变，例如radius骨骨折，肩um骨半脱位和肘关节不一致。
