Fig. 2

Transverse (a) and longitudinal (b) ultrasound scans of the distal attachment of the fetlock joint capsule (DJC) in one horse of Group P. The elastogram superimposed on the B-mode images shows green colouration of the DJC on the transverse image and green-blue colouration on the longitudinal image (red dotted line) (P1: proximal phalanx; McIII: third metacarpal bone; DDET: dorsal digital extensor tendon; DJC: distal attachment of the joint capsule). On the longitudinal scan, a dorsal osteochondral fragment of the proximal phalanx (P1) is visible (yellow dot)
