Computed tomography assisted diagnosis and treatment of a comminuted fracture of the plantar aspect of the medial trochlear ridge and the proximal tubercle of the talus in a foal
Abstract:The tarsocrural (TC) joint articulates the distal end of the tibia with the medial and lateral trochlear ridges of the talus. The proximal tubercle of the talus (PTT), on the proximal and medial aspect of the talus, has a groove through which the medial digital flexor tendon runs, which divides the PTT into a medial and plantar portion (Espinosa et al., 2013;Nixon, 2020). It is also an insertion point for a portion of the medial short collateral ligaments of the TC joint (Verwilghen et al., 2010). The TC joint… Show more
