Ligaments
What ligament also becomes susceptible to injury when the cranial cruciate ligament ruptures?
medial meniscus
What species is more likely to have patellar luxation?
dogs
What type of joint is the tarsal joint?
synovial, compound, hinge joint
Where is the navicular burse located?
between the navicular bone and deep digital flexor tendon
Fibrinous bacterial infectious arthritis is due to what type of bacteria?
gram negative
This is a support mechanism for the pelvic floor, and forms the lateral wall of the pelvis in ungulates.
broad sacrotuberous ligament
What test is used to determine if there is forward displacement of the tibia in relation to the femur?
cranial drawer test
This joint has a locking mechanism where one pelvic limb can support a greater part of the body's weight while the other leg rests.
Genual (stifle) joint
In dogs, this is an extension of the shoulder joint. Communicates with joint cavity.
bicipital bursa
Articular bones becomes smooth due to erosion of overlying cartilage.
eburnation
What joint has NO collateral ligaments?
coxofemoral joint
What test is used to determine if a dog has hip dysplasia?
ortolani test
This ligament assists the interosseous muscle in support of the fetlock joint, preventing its overextension & collapse.
What species do not have fabella?
equine and bovine
A pathological distension of the fetlock joint capsule is known as:
articular windgalls / wind puffs / galls
accessory ligament
Synovial effusion of the tarsocrural or tibiotarsal joint in equine
bog spavin
What muscle holds the patella in its tendon?
quadriceps femoris
Which joint cavity in the carpus is isolated?
antebrachiocarpal joint cavity
Rupture of this tendon results in the fetlock sinking slightly, but it is not grounded.
superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT)
What ligament of the elbow/cubital joint is a component of the stay apparatus?
lateral collateral ligament
Common sequelae of suprascapular nerve damage. What two muscles (and their ligamenets) are atrophied?
supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscle
What joint does the tarsocrural joint communicate with?
proximal intertarsal joint
Match these ligaments to their appropriate joint:
1. palmar annular ligament
2. proximal digital annular ligament
3. distal digital annular ligament
1. fetlock joint
2. long pastern & pastern joint
3. at the level of the coffin joint
What are the lesions that occur with elbow dysplasia?
1. ununited anconeal process
2. fragmentation of the medial coronoid process of the ulna
3. osteochondrosis of the medial aspect of the humeral condyle
