Orthopaedics and lameness articles

These posts are for anyone working up lameness or revising the musculoskeletal system. We use 3D models and gait animations to show limb bones, muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments in the dog and the horse, and to help you practise spotting lameness at the walk, trot and on the circle. You will also find guides to the equine distal limb and stay apparatus, canine limb musculature and bony landmarks, and the bovine stifle, which is a useful comparison when you are studying the horse. A calf forelimb post covers centres of ossification in a young farm animal. The material is written so you can move between structure, movement and the clinical examination, rather than treating them as separate topics.
