[April 18, 2025] The Equine Distal Limb: An Atlas of Clinical Anatomy and Comparative Imaging 2nd Edition

Your Definitive Atlas of Equine Distal Limb Anatomy

This book is a reference atlas of the clinical anatomy of the foot, pastern, and fetlock, correlated with images obtained by radiography, diagnostic ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging. This new edition replaces most of the ultrasound, radiographic, and MRI images with updated, extraordinarily high-quality versions. The atlas is essential for anybody involved in detailed anatomical study, complex lameness evaluation, or advanced imaging techniques.

Key Features

• Extensive Visuals: Every part opens with a superb anatomical drawing by the author. Each double-page spread deals with a single dissection viewed by means of color photographs, labeled B&W equivalents, plus x-rays, ultrasound, and MRI scans as required.
• Updated Images: This new edition replaces ultrasound images and most of the radiographic and MRI images with new, updated versions and adds brand new images of extraordinarily high quality.
• Detailed Evaluation: The multiple views of each area of the distal limb provide an extremely detailed evaluation.
• Clinical Relevance: Diagnosis and management of distal limb lameness require a precise knowledge of the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the equine distal joints, ligaments, and tendons, presented in the last chapter.
• Maximum Clarity: The atlas is designed for maximum clarity using a generous page size.
• Expert Authorship: The book is compiled by a leading equine musculoskeletal system anatomist and one of the foremost equine diagnostic ultrasonographers, making it an invaluable reference text.
