| Popis: | Summary Elbows from cadaver limbs were evaluated to determine the presence of a communication between the ulnaris lateralis bursa (ULB) and the joint and the extent of the bursa. Thirty-two pairs of joints were studied: 12 pairs were frozen, then transversely sectioned and 20 pairs were injected with methyl methacrylate. The 12 frozen-section pairs revealed a communication between the ULB and the elbow joint in 9/24 joints (37.5%) and a true bursa (absence of communication) in 15/24 joints (62.5%). The mean bursal length in adult horses was 3.8 cm. There was no significant difference in the length of the bursa or presence of bursa-joint communication between the right and left limbs. In the acrylic specimens a communication between the ULB and the joint was found in 19/40 specimens (47.5%). There was no significant correlation between age or sex and frequency of communication. There was a significantly greater prevalence of communications present in Quarter Horse than in non-Quarter Horse (P < 0.05) joints. A communication between the ULB and the joint is not always present, and therefore injection of the elbow joint via the ULB may be unreliable. |
