Horseshoeing
Fig. 11 shows a side view, and Figs. 12 and 13 a posterior view of the
phalangeal bones, with their articular ligaments. The lettering is the
same in all three figures: _a_, lateral ligament of fetlock-joint; _b_,
intersesamoid ligament; _c_, suspensory ligament of the fetlock; _d_,
median branch of inferior sesamoid ligament; _d′_, lateral branches
of inferior sesamoid ligament; _e_, deep inferior sesamoid ligament;
_f_, lateral sesamoid ligaments; _g_, inferior coronary ligaments; _h_,
superior coronary ligaments; _h′_, median coronary ligaments; _i_,
lateral pedal ligament; _k_, lateral coronary ligament and suspensory
ligament of the navicular bone; _l_, interosseous ligament.]
5. The _inferior sesamoid ligament_ (Figs. 11, _d′_, 12, _d_, _d′_,
and 13, _d′_, _E_). This originates at the lowest part of the sesamoid
bones and intersesamoid ligament, and consists of _three parts_ or
branches. The _median branch_ (_d_) is the longest and strongest, and
takes its lower attachment in the middle of the fibro-cartilaginous lip
found on the upper border of the posterior face of the second phalanx.
The _two lateral branches_ (_d′_) approach each other as they descend,
and terminate on the sides of the roughened triangle on the posterior
face of the first phalanx.
6. The _deep inferior sesamoid ligament_ (Fig. 13, _e_) is quite short,
and consists of a number of distinct, thin fibrous bands lying directly
against the bone and entirely covered by the median and lateral
inferior sesamoid ligaments. These fibrous bands cross one another in
passing from the sesamoids to the first phalanx.
II. The =coronary joint= is the simplest of the three articulations of
the foot. The long pastern furnishes two condyles and the short pastern
two glenoid cavities. Besides a capsular ligament there are—
1. _Two lateral coronary ligaments_ (_k_) and,
2. _Six posterior coronary ligaments_,—namely, _two superior_ coronary
ligaments (_h_), _two median_ coronary ligaments (_h′_), and _two
inferior_ coronary ligaments (_g_).
III. The =pedal articulation= (“coffin” joint) is an imperfect
hinge-joint, and is formed by the condyles at the lower end of the
short pastern and the two glenoid cavities in the united upper surfaces
of the pedal and navicular bones. Besides the _capsular ligament_
(Figs. 12 and 13, _l_), which binds all three bones together, there are
the following accessory ligaments:
1. _Two strong lateral ligaments_, an external and an internal (Fig.
11, _i_), whose posterior borders are lost in the lateral cartilages
which cover them.
2. _Two lateral suspensory ligaments of the navicular bone_ (_k_).
They begin on the posterior border and ends of the navicular bone,
and terminate on the lower part of the anterior surface of the os
suffraginis, where they are lost in the lateral ligaments of the
coronary articulation.
