37
Name this structure and describe its appearance

The SDFT
Homogenous
Medium echogenicity
38
Name this structure and describe its appearance

The DDFT
Homogenous, has increased echogenicity compared to the SDFT
This is in the pastern so it has a bi-lobed appearance
39
Name this structure and describe its appearance

ALDDFT (Accessory Ligament of the Deep Digital Flexor Tendon)
a.k.a the inferior check ligament
Homogenous
Medium echogenicity
40
Name this structure and describe its appearance

Suspensory ligament
a.k.a. interosseous ligament
Contains a mix of muscle, fat, ligament etc so appears heterogenous
Can contain hypoechoic areas
