* Cattle have a joint capsule for the articulation of each digit with the palmar parts communicating.
* Cattle have a joint capsule for the articulation of each digit with the palmar parts communicating.
* '''Collateral ligaments''' - bind the the furrow between the two articulating areas of the metacarpal bone to the proximal phalanx.
* '''Collateral ligaments''' - bind the the furrow between the two articulating areas of the metacarpal bone to the proximal phalanx.
* '''Interdigital intersesamoid ligament''' - units the axial sesamoids of each digit together.
* '''Interdigital intersesamoid ligament''' - unites the axial sesamoids of each digit together.
* '''Interdigital phalangosesamoid ligaments''' - a pair of ligaments that cross each other as they connect thesesamoid of one digit to the proximal phalanx of the other.
* '''Interdigital phalangosesamoid ligaments''' - a pair of ligaments that cross each other as they connect the sesamoid of one digit to the proximal phalanx of the other.
* '''Proximal interdigital ligament''' - connects the proximal halves of the two digits. Not technically part of the fetlock joint, it is absent in sheep.
* '''Proximal interdigital ligament''' - connects the proximal halves of the two digits. Not technically part of the fetlock joint, it is absent in sheep.
* '''Collateral sesamoid ligaments''' - connect the outer aspect of the sesamoids to the proximal phalanx and there is a distinct branch that attaches to the metacarpal bone.
* '''Collateral sesamoid ligaments''' - connect the outer aspect of the sesamoids to the proximal phalanx and there is a distinct branch that attaches to the metacarpal bone.
** '''Short ligaments''' - connect the axial base of the sesamoids to the lateral/medial aspect on the palmar margin of the proximal phalanx. These are the deepest of the ligaments.
** '''Short ligaments''' - connect the axial base of the sesamoids to the lateral/medial aspect on the palmar margin of the proximal phalanx. These are the deepest of the ligaments.
** '''Cruciate ligaments''' - paired ligaments from the base of the sesamoids that diagonally cross to attach to the proximal phalanx. It lies superficial to the short ligaments.
** '''Cruciate ligaments''' - paired ligaments from the base of the sesamoids that diagonally cross to attach to the proximal phalanx. It lies superficial to the short ligaments.
