Abstract
SUMMARY: Equine tarsocrural collateral ligaments (cl were dissected grossly. The areas of attachment and fiber arrangements were described for the long lateral cl, long medial cl, 3 short lateral cl, and 3 short medial cl. Sequential cutting of cl in any order indicated that the short medial cl were responsible for the snap-joint phenomenon observed at the equine tarsocrural joint.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
