Lecture 20 - Thoracic Limb 5 Flashcards
List the bones of the metacarpus
MC 2 - splint
MC 3 - cannon
MC 4
MC 5 - very small
proximal sesamoid
What are the equine proximal palmar metacarpus’s four main tendon and ligament structures?
1 - superficial digital flexor tendon
2 - Deep digital flexor tendon
3 - suspensory ligament
4 - distal check ligament
What are the 3 structures of the cross-section on the distal palmar metacarpus
1 - superficial digital flexor tendon
2 - Deep digital flexor tendon
3 - suspensory ligament
what typically affects a “bowed” tendon?
inflammation of the SDFT or DDFT
what structures are involved in a “splint”?
MC 2-4, dorsal metacarpal ligament
what is the manica flexoria
sheath formed by the SDFT around the DDFT
what passes through the digital flexor tendon sheath
navicular bursa
What are “windpuffs”
synovial effusion of the DFTS
between what structures are the navicular bursa located
navicular bone and DDFT
what 5 structures form the navicular appartaus
- navicular bone
- navicular bursa
- collateral ligament of navicular bone
- impair ligament
- DDFT
A horse with navicular syndrome may have disease of what structures
DIP joint, navicular bursa, DDFT
what is the clinical importance of the interdigital ligaments with regard to claw amputation
the distal interdigital ligament is transected
describe the applied anatomy of performing option B of fetlock joint blocks in the horse
insert into groove distal to split bone, between MC3 and suspensory l.
Name the ligaments of the metacarpus
superficial digital flexor
suspensory ligament
deep digital flexor
straight ligament
common digital extensor
lateral digital extensor
