Answer 1

1 - lig collat tarsi breve L/M (consists of two parts
2 - lig collat tarsi longus L/M
3 - lig tarsi dors
4 - lig plantaris longus

strong fascia keeps tendons together with nerves/BV embedded in it

Question 2

hock jount in general

Answer 2

composite: tibia, fibula, tarsal bones and mt bones
fibrous layer of articulation capsule enclose whole tarsus from dist cruris to prox mt

synovial layer form 4 synovial sacs for the 4 levels of articulation

Question 3

4 levels of articulation

Answer 3

1 - tarsocrural joint
2 - prox intertarsal joint
3 - dist intertarsal joint
4 - tarsometatarsal joint

Question 4

fibularis tertius EQ IOA

Answer 4

O: fossa ext
I: dist tarsal bones + prox on mt
A: flex tarsus (patellar loop)

Question 5

patellar loop

Answer 5

stabilize the stifle by interconnecting hock and stifle; if one joint act, the other must act too!

muscles + ligament important here

• m. peroneus tertius and CCT
• lig. recti pat M/I/L

Question 6

describe the tarsocrural joint

Answer 6

(cochlear btw tibia&fibula to talus&calcaneus

• EQ: tibia talus
• RU: lat malleolus instead of fibula in RU

Question 7

describe the prox intertarsal joint

Answer 7

central tarsal and os tarsi 4+5 distally

Ca: lat movements, rotation, Flex/Ext
Eq: amphiarthrosis, almost no movement
Ru: flex/ext

Question 8

describe the dist intertarsal joint

Answer 8

os centrale proximally and small tarsal bones distally

also tarsometatarsal joint

Question 9

m. peroneus longus et brevis

Answer 9

longus: not eq
brevis: only ca
