Ultrasonographic measurements on normal tarsocrural articular recesses in the standardbred trotter horse. Journal of Applied Animal Research, vol. 46, n. 1, pp. 725-728.

For this study, proximodistal and plantarodorsal (PLD) diameters were ultrasonographically obtained from the synovial recesses of 24 sound Standardbred Trotter horses. A comparison between right and left limb measurements was also made. The dorsomedial recess has shown a variable PLD diameter (0.11–0.90 cm), although the plantarolateral recess has shown the most variable dimensions (0.3–1.5 cm). In many cases, great differences have been found between two tarsi within the same horse; in contrast, the plantaromedial recess of the tarsocrural joint has a more homogeneous PLD diameter (0.6–0.9 cm). Ultimately, the assessed echographic limits for the studied tarsal structures could serve to accurately evaluate the pathological variations for this breed.application/pdfenopen accessJoints - Wounds and injuries - Imaging.Ecografía en veterinaria.Horses - Musculoskeletal system - Wounds and injuries - Imaging.Articulaciones - Heridas y lesiones - Diagnóstico por imagen.Caballos - Sistema musculoesquelético - Heridas y lesiones - Diagnóstico por imagen.Veterinary ultrasonography.Artículohttps://doi.org/10.1080/09712119.2017.1389732https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es
