Abstract

The metacarpophangeal/metatarsophalangeal (fetlock) joint in the horse is commonly associated with equine lameness and diagnostic imaging is routinely used to investigate disorders of the joint and its surrounding tissues. This review describes the osseous disorders of the fetlock as well as the technical aspects of taking radiographic and ultrasonographic images of the different lesions. In current clinical practice, a combination of radiography and ultrasonography is still the most frequently used approach to arrive at a diagnosis.

摘要

马的掌指关节/跖趾关节（球节）常与马的跛行有关，诊断性影像学检查通常用于调查该关节及其周围组织的疾病。本综述描述了球节的骨疾病以及对不同病变进行X线摄影和超声成像的技术方面。在当前的临床实践中，X线摄影和超声检查相结合仍然是最常用的诊断方法。
