“…Striations have been documented at the insertion of the middle patellar ligament and are regularly seen by the authors at the tibial insertions of all 3 patellar ligaments. Gaps in fibre pattern visible in the distal to insertional portions of several LPLs may be explained by its described attachment onto the tibial tuberosity, with portions inserting onto the axial and abaxial aspects of the lateral ridge of the groove of the tibial tuberosity . The presence of fat within invaginations of the distal LPL is also consistent with that described in a recent report on CT anatomy of the normal equine stifle .…”

“…In a CT study of the stifle joint in horses, the size, shape, margins and homogeneity of both cranial and caudal cruciate ligaments, and aspect of meniscotibial ligaments and menisci were visible after intra-articular injection of positive contrast material (Vekens et al, 2011). Because arthrography was not accomplished by a CT exam, the evaluation of soft tissue structures of the stifle joint was compromised in the present study.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the stifle joint of marsh deer using imaging studies and in comparison with gross anatomy. Ten hindlimbs from 5 marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) were used. Radiography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed in each stifle joint. Two hindlimbs were dissected to describe stifle gross anatomy. The other limbs were sectioned in sagittal, dorsal or transverse planes. In the craniocaudal radiographic view, the lateral femoral condyle was broader than the medial femoral condyle. The femoral trochlea was asymmetrical. Subsequent multiplanar reconstruction revealed in the cranial view that the external surface of the patella was roughened, the medial trochlea ridge was larger than the lateral one, and the extensor fossa at the lateral condyle was next to the lateral ridge. The popliteal fossa was better visualized via the lateral view. Sagittal MRI images identified lateral and medial menisci, caudolateral and craniomedial bundles of cranial cruciate ligament, caudal cruciate ligament, patellar ligament and common extensor tendon. In conclusion, the marsh deer stifle presents some anatomical characteristics of the ovine stifle joint.

“…With advances in diagnostic imaging technology, contrast radiography has moved into new areas providing further characterisation of soft tissue and subtle articular pathology. Computed tomographic (CT) arthrography has been utilised to document normal soft tissue anatomy and identify intraarticular soft tissue pathology (Vanderperren et al 2008;Vekens et al 2011;Gray et al 2013).…”

Contrast radiography in the equine orthopaedic case

Summary Routine contrast radiography has a valuable role in equine orthopaedics, providing additional information to standard radiography. However, ultrasonography provides additional information with respect to soft tissue pathology not appreciable when using contrast radiography alone, particularly in the investigation of synovial sepsis, ligament and tendon pathology, and osteochondral defects. The benefits of contrast media in more advanced imaging modalities such as computed tomography are just being recognised clinically.
