Diagnostic imaging of the equine fetlock region using radiography and ultrasonography. Part 2: the bony disorders

Katrien Vanderperren et al. Vet J. 2009 Aug.

Abstract

The metacarpophangeal/metatarsophalangeal (fetlock) joint in the horse is commonly associated with equine lameness and diagnostic imaging is routinely used to investigate disorders of the joint and its surrounding tissues. This review describes the osseous disorders of the fetlock as well as the technical aspects of taking radiographic and ultrasonographic images of the different lesions. In current clinical practice, a combination of radiography and ultrasonography is still the most frequently used approach to arrive at a diagnosis.
