A foal was unable to stand at birth. When it tried to use its forelimbs it always knuckled forward. On manipulation, it was difficult to extend the phalanges beyond the vertical axis.
Question | Answer | Article | |
What is the most likely diagnosis? | Congenital flexural deformity of the metacarpophalangeal and/or distal interphalangeal joints in both forelimbs.

List the various options available for treatment of this condition. |
However, in some foals, the application of toe extensions will make the flexural deformities in the metacarpophalangeal joints worse. In such cases, the deformities of the metacarpophalangeal joints should be corrected, with splints, and the distal interphalangeal joints corrected at a later date. |
