Ultrasonographic evaluation of normal scapula in the horse
Scapular fracture is rare in horse, but if happen can cause severe lameness. Due to overlapping of the contralateral scapula and thorax on the scapula, usually radiography is not helpful in its evaluation except in small amount of distal part. This study was intended to document the normal ultrasono...

| description | Scapular fracture is rare in horse, but if happen can cause severe lameness. Due to overlapping of the contralateral scapula and thorax on the scapula, usually radiography is not helpful in its evaluation except in small amount of distal part. This study was intended to document the normal ultrasono-graphic appearance of the equine scapula. Right forelimbs of six horses were used. To facilitate image understanding, a zoning system was developed. Ultrasonography was performed using a 5–11 MHz linear array transducer. Ultrasonographic anatomy of scapula in different parts and planes was imaged and documented. This diagnostic imaging technique revealed a high potential in evaluating scapular surface and possible regional injuries. Ultrasonography could be considered an important addition to radiography in diagnosing fractures in the scapular region. |
