title: Trauma resulting in hemarthrosis and long medial collateral ligament desmitis of the tarsocrural joint in a horse.
abstract: A horse was initially diagnosed with hemarthrosis and desmitis of the long medial collateral ligament of the right tarsus and later developed prominent enthesiophytosis at the site of insertion of the ligament's deep portion. Hemarthrosis due to intra- or peri-articular pathology can cause recurrent lameness, even without evident external trauma.
