Skeleton of the lower forelimb. Each forelimb of the horse runs from the scapula or shoulder blade to the third phalanx (coffin or pedal) bones. In between are the humerus (arm), radius (forearm), elbow joint, ulna (elbow), carpus (knee) bones and joint, large metacarpal (cannon), small metacarpal (splint), sesamoid, fetlock joint, first phalanx (long pastern), pastern joint, second phalanx ...
Hip joint : Ball-and-socket joint made up of the acetabulum of the pelvis and the femur. It is very stable. Stifle joint (femoropatellar joint): actually composed of three joint compartments: the femoropatellar joint, the medial femorotibial joint, and the lateral femorotibial joint, which are stabilized by a network of ligaments. The stifle ...
Mechanism of injury Reference Bankart's fracture: Arthur Bankart: Fracture of anterior glenoid associated with anterior shoulder dislocation: External rotation and abduction of shoulder [1] [2] Barton's fracture: John Rhea Barton: distal radius fracture involving the articular surface with dislocation of the radiocarpal joint: fall on ...
A Bankart lesion is a type of shoulder injury that occurs following a dislocated shoulder. [3] It is an injury of the anterior ( inferior ) glenoid labrum of the shoulder. [ 4 ] When this happens, a pocket at the front of the glenoid forms that allows the humeral head to dislocate into it.
This joint may include articulations between tarsal bones and the fibula in some species (such as cats), while in others the fibula has been greatly reduced and is only found as a vestigial remnant fused to the distal portion of the tibia (as in horses). [1] It is the anatomical homologue of the ankle of the human foot.
Pes anserinus inserts onto the anteromedial (front and inside) surface of the proximal tibia. The muscles are the sartorius , gracilis and semitendinosus sometimes referred to as the guy ropes . The name "goose foot" arises from the three-pronged manner in which the conjoined tendon inserts onto the tibia.
Anterior and posterior views of the proximal humerus with labeled bony landmarks and muscle insertion sites. The shoulder joint consists of the glenoid cavity of the scapula and the head of the humerus. It as an extremely mobile joint that is stabilized by surrounding soft tissues such as the joint capsule, muscles, and ligaments. [11]
Following a tibial plateau fracture, the patient is at risk for arthritis. This is referred to as post-traumatic arthritis. The more displaced the joint intra-articular surface is, the more likely post-traumatic arthritis is to occur. This occurs due to injury to the joint surface cartilage. When cartilage is damaged, arthritis can occur. [15]
