  • Title: Anatomy and therapeutic resection of the peroneus tertius muscle in a foal.
    Author: Trout DR, Lohse CL.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1981 Aug 01; 179(3):247-51. PubMed ID: 7287548.
    Abstract:
    A foal with a congenital flexure deformity of the right hock was unable to walk because of an abnormally short peroneus tertius (PT) muscle. Tension on the muscle origin and insertions limited the dorsal angle of hock extension to a 70-degrees arc. The intrauterine position of the fetus probably caused the defect. All the PT attachments were dissected in several other limbs, and illustrations made from these dissections were used to study the anatomy and surgical approach. Immediately after resection of the PT muscle, the foal's right hock extended an additional 30 degrees. Two months later, the foal had normal gaits, with normal extension and flexion of the hock and stifle.
