  • Title: Anatomical factors in displacement of the superficial digital flexor tendon in dogs.
    Author: Kara ME.
    Journal: Dtsch Tierarztl Wochenschr; 1998 Jul; 105(7):278-9. PubMed ID: 9697354.
    Abstract:
    The superficial digital flexor muscles of 12 adult dogs were investigated to get informations on the possible anatomical factors which could play a role in the displacement of the superficial digital flexor tendon in dogs. It was seen that the lateral displacement of the superficial digital flexor tendon, tearing its medial attachment, was a result of the weaker medial attachment on the tuber calcanei and the change of the angulation between the calcaneus, insertion and origin points of the muscle in flexed hind limb.
