From: Arthrocentesis approaches to the phalangeal joints of the one humped camel (Camelus dromedarius)
Palmar and lateral view of the left distal forelimb and digit IV. (A) Sagittal plane CT image, (B) three-dimensional reconstruction (the black dotted line indicates the placement of the ultrasound probe between the two proximal sesamoid bones), (C) longitudinal palmar ultrasound image of the metacarpophalangeal joint, and (D) dissection. Mc III distal end of metacarpal bone III, Mc IV distal end of metacarpal bone IV, P1 proximal phalanx, P2 middle phalanx, P3 distal phalanx, a proximal palmar pouch of the metacarpophalangeal joint, b distal palmar pouch of the metacarpophalangeal joint, c proximal palmar pouch of the proximal interphalangeal joint, d proximal palmar pouch of the distal interphalangeal joint, IOM interosseous medius muscle, SDF superficial digital flexor tendon, DDF deep digital flexor tendon, MF manica flexoria, JC joint cavity. The white arrowheads indicate the epiphyseal lines, and the white square bracket indicates the ultrasound area on image (D).
