Jean-Marie Denoix is the world’s leading equine musculoskesletal system anatomist and has become one of the foremost equine diagnostic ultrasonographers. There is therefore nobody better to compile a reference atlas of the clinical anatomy of the foot, pastern and fetlock, correlated with images obtained by radiography, diagnostic ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. Advanced imaging techniques require in-depth knowledge of anatomy for accurate interpretation and, especially when using magnetic resonance imaging, this must be a three-dimensional concept of anatomy.

This new edition replaces ultrasound images and most of the radiographic and MRI images with new, updated versions and adds brand new images of extraordinarily high quality. The multiple views of each area of the distal limb provide an extremely detailed evaluation, while every part opens with an anatomical drawing by the author. Each double-page spread deals with a single dissection viewed by means of colour photographs, labelled B&W equivalents, plus x-rays, ultrasound and MRI scans as required.

Diagnosis and management of distal limb lameness require a precise knowledge of the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the equine distal joints, ligaments and tendons, presented in the last chapter. The atlas is designed for maximum clarity using a generous page size and is essential for anybody involved in detailed anatomical study, complex lameness evaluation or advanced imaging techniques.

Jean-Marie DENOIX Professor, DVM, PhD, Founder ISELP, DACVSMR, DECVSMR. For more than forty years, Pr J-M Denoix has been captivated by equine musculoskeletal system anatomy and biomechanics and was involved in the diagnosis and rehabilitation of equine lameness. He become assistant of Anatomy with Professor R. Barone in 1978 at the National Veterinary School of Lyons where he presented his PhD research on the biomechanics of the equine distal limb in 1987. He moved to the National Veterinary School of Alfort in 1988 to become head of the Anatomy and Equine departments. Founder of CIRALE (Center of Imaging and Research on Equine Locomotor Affections) in Normandy, France in 1999, he founded ISELP (International Society of Equine Locomotor Pathology) in 2006 and ALAPILE (Latinoamerican Association of Pathology and Imaging of the locomotor system in Equine) in 2012. In 2013 he became Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Sport Medicine and Rehabilitation (ACVSMR) and is a founding Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Sport Medicine and Rehabilitation (ECVSMR). In 2018, he set up a rehabilitation unit at CIRALE where residents of the American and European Colleges of Veterinary Sport Medicine and Rehabilitation are trained. Jean-Marie has been an invited speaker at many international meetings in more than 30 countries around the world. In 2021, as a recognition of his career and achievements in the field of biomechanics and lameness in horses, he has been invited to present the ‘John Hickman Plenary lecture’ at the BEVA meeting and the State of the Art lecture (‘Milne Lecture’) at the AAEP convention.

Reviews for The Equine Distal Limb: An Atlas of Clinical Anatomy and Comparative Imaging

We do a lot of lameness workups of the distal limb in our clinical practice and teach a number of students. The Equine Distal Limb provides a high level of detail for everything from relational anatomy to wounds. It is an excellent text which can be used by everyone in the practice, from those starting out to the most experienced equine practitioner/surgeon.
