Injury to the palmar supporting structures of the fetlock alters limb stiffness and fetlock angle
Abstract Background In vivo measurement of limb stiffness and conformation provides a non‐invasive proxy assessment of superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) and suspensory ligament (SL) function. Here, we compared it in fore and hindlimbs and after injury.
