Title: Association of ultrasound and anatomopathological findings of equine metacarpophalangeal lesions
Biography
Biography: De Bastiani Grasiela
Abstract
To determine the association between ultrasonographic and anatomopathological findings, an ultrasonographic examination was performed post mortem on the fetlock and associated structures of 37 equine forelimb specimens. All of these specimens exhibited images suggestive of lesions on the ultrasound examination. Subsequently, these limbs were dissected and underwent an anatomopathological study. Ultrasonographic changes in size, shape, architecture and echogenicity of ligaments, tendons, joint capsule, articular cartilage and bony surfaces of the metacarpophalangeal joint were associated with the anatomopathological findings.
