Cannon bone measurements

["Linnea Skoglund" <skoglund@lamar.colostate.edu>]

Hey, I am curious.  How does one take cannon bone measurements?  How 
is it interpretted?  I don't see that it is given as a ratio or 
anything, so I assume it is just the circumference in the center 
(lengthwise) of the cannon bone.  I am lazy and don't want to read an 
anatomy text.  So just some general statements will satisfy me.  
Thanks
