This paper describes normal ultrasound images of the soft tissues of the dorsal and abaxial aspects of the equine fetlock. The palmar aspect of the fetlock is not discussed because it is related to the suspensory apparatus and flexor tendon anatomy which has been previously described. Ultrasound scanning was performed with 7.5 MHz linear or 10 MHz sector probes and recorded on 7.5 cm U-matic videocassettes allowing further retrospective data analysis, computer manipulation and good image reproducibility. Sagittal, parasagittal, frontal and transverse ultrasound scans of 13 lameness free mature horses were compared to anatomically dissected leg specimens, anatomical sections and Magnetic Resonance Imaging scans of isolated limbs. The results are focused on the comparison between anatomical sections and ultrasonograms performed on the legs of nonlame horses. Ultrasonography was demonstrated to be a very accurate imaging procedure for soft tissue structures at the dorsal and abaxial aspects of the equine fetlock. Under clinical conditions, a thorough knowledge of normal ultrasonographic anatomy is critical for an accurate diagnosis of fetlock soft tissue injury.
本文描述了马球节背侧和轴外侧软组织的正常超声图像。由于球节掌侧与悬韧带装置和屈肌腱解剖结构相关，而这些内容此前已有描述，因此本文不做讨论。使用7.5兆赫线性探头或10兆赫扇形探头进行超声扫描，并记录在7.5厘米的U型自动录像带上，以便进行进一步的回顾性数据分析、计算机处理以及获得良好的图像再现性。将13匹无跛行的成年马的矢状、旁矢状、额状和横向超声扫描结果与解剖后的腿部标本、解剖切片以及离体肢体的磁共振成像扫描结果进行了比较。结果着重于对非跛行马腿部的解剖切片和超声图像进行比较。超声检查被证明是一种对马球节背侧和轴外侧软组织结构非常准确的成像方法。在临床情况下，全面了解正常超声解剖结构对于准确诊断球节软组织损伤至关重要。
