Ultrasonographic measurements on normal tarsocrural articular recesses in the Standardbred Trotter horse
The aim of this study was to provide reference measurements from the three tibiotarsal synovial recesses (plantarolateral, plantaromedial, and dorsomedial) from both right and left sound equine hock joints. For this study, proximodistal and plantarodorsal (PLD) diameters were ultrasonographically ob...
