Abstract: The metacarpophangeal/metatarsophalangeal (fetlock) joint in the horse is commonly associated with equine lameness and diagnostic imaging is routinely used to investigate disorders of the joint and its surrounding tissues. This review describes the osseous disorders of the fetlock as well as the technical aspects of taking radiographic and ultrasonographic images of the different lesions. In current clinical practice, a combination of radiography and ultrasonography is still the most frequently used approach to arrive at a diagnosis.

Ultrasonographic findings in 100 horses with tarsal region disorders.
TL;DR: The results show that the main disease process can affect all aspects of the tarsus, and that a complete and systematic ultrasonographic examination is mandatory when investigating the tartsal region.

Comparison of radiography, nuclear scintigraphy, and magnetic resonance imaging for detection of specific conditions of the distal tarsal bones of horses: 20 cases (2006–2010)
TL;DR: Radiography was unreliable for the detection of pathological changes related to osseous hyperintensity identified with MRI, fracture, and subchondral bone sclerosis in the equine tarsus and nuclear scintigraphy was effective in localizing pathological changes, but MRI provided superior anatomic detail.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported significant differences in standing and recumbent limb alignment values for all values except elbow mechanical axis deviation (eMAD) Limb, gender, age, body weight, and body condition score had no effect.

TL;DR: Haematogenous infection of a joint occurs in adult horses and should be considered as a differential diagnosis in horses with an acute onset of severe lameness and had a significant effect on the type of bacteria identified by culture.
