Desmitis of the palmar or plantar ligaments of the proximal interphalangeal joint: A descriptive case series
Pathology to the PL-PIPJ can be a primary cause of lameness in horses and these structures should therefore be critically evaluated on MR examination. Differentiation between the abaxially located structures can be challenging. Periligamentous oedema is often present in cases of desmitis of the abaxially located ligaments; its presence should prompt closer assessment.
