(17) Injection of the distal intertarsal joint from the dorsomedial aspect of the limb, distal to the palpable distal border of the medial branch of the tendon of the tibialis cranialis muscle and between the central, third, and combined first and second tarsal bones, provided reliable access except in the presence of severe periosteal proliferations.
(18) The most frequent and severe changes were seen in the intertarsal, tibiotalar, and metatarsophalangeal joints.
(19) "Windswept deformities", involving valgus angulation of one intertarsal joint and varus angulation in the contralateral limb, were identified in 75 of 120 turkeys and 24 of 120 broiler fowls which had been culled because of lameness, so that windswept limb angulation was more common in turkeys than broilers.
(20) However, scoliosis was significantly greater in birds with intertarsal deformities, and in a significant proportion of these the joint with a slipped tendon was on the convex side of scoliosis.
Tarsal
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the tarsus (either of the foot or eye).
(n.) A tarsal bone or cartilage; a tarsale.
(n.) Same as Tercel.
Example Sentences:
(1) Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica - an epiphyseal developmental disturbance of the skeleton - is combined with exostose-like, tumor-simulating cartilaginous hypertrophy of bone tissue, mainly located at the epiphyses of the lower extremities and at the tarsal bones.
(2) Osteopetrosis is diffuse and is associated with important metaphyseal widening as well as epiphyseal irregularities and often carpal and tarsal supernumerary bones.
(3) Operative treatment was used 22 times (5 sesamoid fractures, 5 midtibial fractures, 5 metatarsal V base fractures, 3 tarsal navicular fractures, 3 olecranon fractures, and 1 proximal tibial shaft fracture).
(4) The resulting free anterior tarsal surface must be covered by a free graft to prevent tarsal shrinking.
