Req. preparation of foot prior to rads
- Remove shoe

routine equine foot views
- Lateromedial
- Dorsopalmar
- Dorso65proximal - palmarodistal oblique (solar margin view)
oblique solar margin views
- Dorsal45lateral - palmaromedial oblique
2. Dorsal45medial - palmarolateral oblique
fetlock joint name
metacarpophalangeal joint
Routine fetlock views of forelimb
- DP
- DLPMo
- DMPLo
- Flexed latero-medial ( to see larger proportion of the sagittal ridge)
routine views of hind fetlock
- DP
- DLPMo
- DMPLo
- Standing latero-medial
why is the fetlock DP shot with a 15-20degree pr-distal angle?
to clear the sesamoids from the joint - to assess subchondral bone defects
what is a common site for chip fragments in fore fetlocks?
proximal dorsomedial aspect of the proximal phalanx
what is a common site for chip fragments in the hind fetlock?
proximal palmaromedial aspect of the proximal phalanx
