Does anyone know what these mean and how serious they are?
Left front-side view:
small corpora libra in the fetlock joint
Oxspring view:
canales sesamoidales are evidently signed
(My guess is that the first is a 'spur' and that the second is 'deminilerazing of the sesomoid'). |

Ahhh the Artes Latina, but that was 30 years ago. I think corpora libra would be "free bodies" and the canales sesamoidales would be the "synovial invaginations also called vascular channels)" along the anterior border. I read this as you have some small pieces of calcified material within the joint capsule and enlarged synovial invaginations. The significance of these lesions cannot be interpreted without a thorough view of all the radiographs the clinical history, and a physical exam.
