The joint capsule encompasses the articulation and is attached to the brim of the acetabulum and the edge of the head of the femur. The section passes through the middle of the groove of the trochlea of the tibial tarsal bone. 1 and 2. Proximal ends of cavity of hock joint. 3. Thick part of joint capsule over which deep flexor tendon plays. 4.
In selected subjects about fifty per cent of cases recover in from two to six weeks following this operation. Open Tarsal Joint. Like the tibia the hock is exposed to frequent injuries and in some cases wounds perforate the joint capsule. Horses sometimes jump over wire fences and wounds are inflicted which constitute extensive laceration of the joint capsule. Symptomatology.
As has been mentioned in the consideration of radial fractures, heavy leather is better suited for immobilization of these parts than a cast or other rigid splint materials. Mature animals may be expected to resist the immobilization of the hind legs because of the normal manner of flexion of the tarsal and stifle joints in unison.
The "oblong marrow"; that portion of the brain which lies upon the basilar process of the occipital bone. Meibomian. A term applied to the small glands between the conjunctiva and tarsal cartilages, discovered by Meibomius. Membrana Tympani. Literally, the membrane of the drum; a delicate partition separating the outer from the middle ear; it is sometimes popularly called "the drum of the ear."
"The barbed formation of the point explains how, under the stroking with the finger, it was forced through the dense tarsal cartilage and against the cornea of the eye." There is a story told in La Medecine Moderne of a seamstress of Berlin who was in the habit of allowing her dog to lick her face.
Hoare reports a case of a mare that had produced fracture in jumping. Fracture of the other tarsal bones are very seldom observed but may be occasioned by contusions wherein multiple or comminuted fractures are produced, such as are to be seen in small animals. Symptomatology. Great pain attends this accident according to the observations given in recorded cases.
In the bird, the fibula is small and its lower end diminishes to a point. The tibia has a strong crest at its upper end and its lower extremity passes into a broad pulley. There seem at first to be no tarsal bones; and only one bone, divided at the end into three heads for the three toes which are attached to it, appears in the place of the metatarsus.
The muscles originate from the lower extremity of the femur and the two bones in this region, and terminate inferiorly in tendons that are attached to the bones of the hock, cannon and digit. THE HOCK OR TARSAL region is formed by six bones. They are described as forming two rows. In the upper row there are two bones and in the lower four.
As a result of acute synovitis a chronic synovial distension of the tarsal sheath occurs. Bog spavin is often present in case of thoroughpin but the two conditions are separate and distinct excepting in that both may occur simultaneously and as the result of the same cause. Some animals are undoubtedly predisposed to disease of synovial structures.
Every Monkey and Lemur exhibits the characteristic arrangement of tarsal bones, possesses a short flexor and short extensor muscle, and a 'peronaeus longus'. Varied as the proportions and appearance of the organ may be, the terminal division of the hind limb remains, in plan and principle of construction, a foot, and never, in those respects, can be confounded with a hand.
