Anatomy atlas of the equine finger and hoof


Introduction

This vet-Anatomy module contains illustrations dedicated to the anatomy of the distal extremities of the horse's thoracic and pelvic limbs, its tendons and ligaments, its vascularization and innervation, as well as the various anatomical structures of the hoof. These annotated anatomical illustrations are presented in the form of an illustrated atlas of all the structures of the horse's digit and hoof. The purpose of this atlas is to support veterinary students, practicing veterinarians, and farriers understand the anatomy of the distal extremities of the thoracic and pelvic limbs.

Material and methods

48 medical illustrations and 3 original photographs were created, depicting the skeleton of the horse's finger, its tendons and ligaments, its vascularization and innervation, and the anatomy of the hoof and foot. The synovial sheaths and subtendinous bursae were also represented.

The illustrations were produced by Felipe Barona Lopez, Estelle Demange, and Bérénice Guérin, scientific illustrators, under the anatomical and scientific supervision of Dr. Antoine Micheau and Dr. Denis Hoa (Radiologists - Montpellier, France).

The photographed hoof was prepared by the farrier Jérôme Roussel.

The anatomical structures have been labeled according to the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (sixth edition - 2017 by the International Committee on Veterinary Gross Anatomical Nomenclature - ICVGAN) and grouped into different themes:

  • General anatomy
  • Bones
  • Ligaments
  • Tendons
  • Bursae and synovial sheaths
  • Hoof
  • Arteries
  • Veins
  • Nerves
