Document Summary
Interosseus ((cid:0)suspensory ligament(cid:0)) deep to the sdf and ddf. Ddft- deeper to sdft distal check ligament from ddft - from the palmar carpal ligament distal to the carpus to the ddf middle of the cannon bone. Proximal check ligament from sdft for the forelimb only arises from proximal to the carpus. Proximal to the carpus/tarsus the sdf and ddf are fleshy. Muscle as a tissue is relatively soft and easily torn if stretched beyond its normal range of motion. Tendon sheaths suspensory ligament insert onto the sesamoid bone. The digital sheath (cid:0)the ddft (13) shares a synovial digital sheath (14) with the sdft (18) at the lev el of the fetlock joint. The sheath begins a few centimetres proximal to the fetlock joint and ends level with the middle of pii. It lubricates the passage of the tendons over the bearing surface. It is a common site of inflammation and, when distended, bulges most noticeably above the proximal sesamoid bones.
