Anatomy - Rum Pelvic Limb Flashcards
Dewclaws
Nonweight bearing digits II & V
Contain bones in cows but not small rum
Greater ischiatic foramen contains
Cranial gluteal artery, vein, nerve
Sciatic nerve
Caudal gluteal nerve
Lesser ischiatic foramen contains
Caudal gluteal artery & vein
Ligaments in pelvic limb of bovine
3 patellar ligaments - medial, middle, lateral
Osteoligamentous loop - loop formed by ligs
Large medial femoral trochlear ridge
Treatment for upward patellar fixation
Desmotomy - cut the medial ligament
Hock jt - perforating tarsal canal
Different form the tarsal canal
Canal between 3 sets of fused tarsal bones for blood vessels and perforating arteries
Tarsal bones in the perforating tarsal canal
Fused T2&T3 bones
Fused TC +T4 (centroquartal bones)
Fused MT III & IV
Rump muscles in cows
Middle gluteal
Gluteobiceps msucle - fusion of superficial gluteal & biceps femoris
Importance of trochanteric bursa
Between the minor and major troachanter (no 3rd)
Inflammation = lameness
Bicipital bursa
Located between the medial and lateral femoral condyle
Inflammation = lameness
Not present in EQ
Facts abt hamstring muscles in ruminants
Lack vertebral head origin, only pelvic origin = angular or flat appearance of rump making bony features in rum more palpable
Importance of Sublumbar muscles
Most tender part of T-bone steak due to underutilization
External obturator muscle in bovine
Intrapelvic part
Extrapelvic part
Both cover the obturator foramen dorsal & ventral
Craniolateral muscles of crus
Fibularis tertius
Long digital extensor
Cranial tibial
Fibularis longus
Lateral digital extensor
Short digital extensor
Heads of long digital extensor
Medial head/tendon - p2&3 of digit 3
Lateral head/tendon - branches - p3 of digits 3&4
