Jun 4, 2016 · The distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint is a complex structure comprising not only the articulation between the middle and distal phalanges, with supporting collateral ligaments, but also the articulation with the navicular bone. It has a close relationship with the distal sesamoidean impar ligament (DSIL) and the collateral sesamoidean ligaments.

Pathophysiology. The distal interphalangeal joint (DIP) is the articulation between the middle phalanx, distal phalanx and the navicular bone. The collateral sesamoidean ligament (CSL), the distal sesamoidean impar ligament (DSIL) and branches of the palmar digital nerves run in close proximity to the palmar aspect of the joint.
1. Introduction . The distal forelimb of the horse undergoes high stresses during locomotion, particularly during uneven foot bearing. The distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) is one of the most affected joints in the horse, the most influenced by hoof placement and orientation, and the most directly manipulated by hoof trimming and shoeing.

The anatomy of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint in the adult horse is described in relationship to the suspensory ligaments of the navicular bone, the neurovascular bundle and the sensory nerves to these periarticular regions. Using polymer plastic injections, the synovial cavity of the DIP jo …

Sep 29, 2014 · The distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint in horses is critical for effective movement over uneven ground surfaces. Since trimming, shoeing, exercise and ground surface highly influences the DIP joint, it’s critical that hoof-care practitioners understand how manipulation can affect it, says Scott Morrison, an equine veterinarian and farrier at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Ky.

The shoulder joint is the articulation between the glenoid cavity of the scapula and the head of the humerus. In the horse, lateral and medial movements of this joint are impossible due to the shape of the humeral head; movement is therefore limited to flexion and extension. The joint is strengthened by the medial and lateral glenohumeral ligaments...
The elbow joint is the articulation between the humeral condyle, trochlear notch of the ulna and the radial head. The joint capsule attaches to the articular surface of the condyle, the periphery of the olecranon fossa and the articular cartilage of the trochlear notch of the ulna. Ligaments of the elbow include: 1. Lateral (radial) collateral liga...
The carpal joint is a compound joint composed of: 1. The antebrachiocarpal joint between the radius/ulna and the proximal carpal bones 2. The middle carpal joint between the two rows of carpal bones 3. The carpometacarpal joint between the distal carpal bones and the proximal metacarpals The joint is a synovial joint, comprising a common outer fibr...
The fetlock joint is the articulation between the trochlea of third metacarpal (cannon bone), the proximal phalanx and the proximal sesamoid bones; it allows flexion and extension movements. The joint capsule is divided into a dorsal and palmar pouch. The dorsal pouch extends between third metacarpal (cannon bone) and the common digital extensor te...
The pastern joint, between the trochlea of the proximal phalanx and the proximal end of the middle phalanx, allows flexion and extension movements. The palmar border of the middle phalanx has a complementary fibrocartilage that extends the proximal articular surface of the middle phalanx. It is sometimes called the middle scutum as it provides a gl...
The coffin joint, between the distal trochlea of the middle phalanx, distal phalanx and the distal sesamoid (navicular bone), allows extension and slight flexion movements. The navicular bursa lies between the navicular bone and the deep digital flexor tendon. The joint capsule attaches to the articular periphery and has two pouches, a small dorsal...
The PDN block is sometimes called a “heel block,” but this terminology is erroneous because the block anesthetizes the entire foot, including the distal interphalangeal (coffin) joint. For a few horses, the PDN block may also cause at least partial anesthesia of the proximal interphalangeal (pastern) joint, especially if a large volume of ...
