Figure 12.11. Insufficient lateral stabilization of this distal tarsal luxation (A, B) resulted in further displacement during transportation (A).
Figure 12.12. An aluminum rod has been shaped to extend
from the ground up over the stifle and hip in this horse with a tibial Figure 12.13. The dorsal metatarsus is a common location for
fracture. Similar to radial fractures in the forelimb, the splint prevents extensor tendon lacerations, and many injuries also involve the
abduction of the limb distal to the fracture, further stabilizing metatarsus. This wound will need debridement of the contaminated
fractures of the tibia. A wide board may be used instead of the tissue and sharp debridement of the dorsal cannon bone. Source:
