Abstract

Obviously, diagnostic interpretation of some affections of the fetlock joint depends on detailed and thorough knowledge of the normal arthrograph. Therefore, this study was intended to provide radiographic visualization of the full extent of the normal fetlock joint capsule in donkeys. The arthrographic study revealed the presence of proximal palmar (or plantar) sac, proximal dorsal sac, distal dorsal sac, distal mid-palmar (or plantar) sac and the paired medial and lateral palmar (or plantar) sacs.
