Severe angular limb deformity of the forelimbs of a 7‐month‐old calf was treated by temporary physeal bridging of the distal radial physes using screws and wires. Marked straightening of the deformed forelegs and improvement in ambulation were noted when the calf was evaluated at three and nine months after surgery.
