Rupture of the dorsal ligaments of the tarsus in the greyhound is a rare racing injury. This case report describes dorsal tarsal instability in three greyhounds. ⋯ In these three cases, stability was restored by the insertion of a wire tension band anchored to two bone screws, allowing the development of periarticular fibrosis. The dogs raced again with no loss of form.
