A troodontid with a pathologic metatarsal Iifts its foot towards its face to investigate. The pathologic bone is highlighted and features a red line to indicate where a thin section was taken. The thin section appears as aarge imags behind the troodontid, the troodontid's tail passing through the central medullary cavity.
