Abstract:
Information on the clinical behavior of cases with an isolated rupture of the short collateral ligaments of the canine tarsus is sparse. Our objective was to evaluate the function of the short medial collateral ligaments (SMCLs) in 90° flexion. Eight cadaveric limbs were tested for internal/external rotation and valgus/varus before and after transection of one or both SMCLs. In one group, the tibiocentral ligament was transected first, followed by the tibiotalar. In the second group, the order of transection was reversed. Angular changes between two k-wires were measured and compared. Internal rotation increased significantly after transection of one or both SMCLs (

Collateral Ganglia
Sympathetic preganglionic axons reach the collateral ganglia along the route of splanchnic nerves. These nerves bypass the sympathetic trunk and communicate with sympathetic postganglionic neurons housed in the prevertebral ganglia. These ganglia supply the organs of the abdominopelvic cavity.
The greater splanchnic nerve, formed by the...
