===Distal Interphalangeal (Coffin) Joint===

===Distal Interphalangeal (Coffin) Joint===

The coffin joint, between the distal trochlea of the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Middle Phalanx|middle phalanx]], [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Phalanx|distal phalanx]] and the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Sesamoid (Navicular) Bone|distal sesamoid ('''navicular bone''')]], allows extension and slight flexion movements. The '''navicular bursa''' lies between the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Sesamoid (Navicular) Bone|navicular bone]] and the deep digital flexor tendon. The joint capsule attaches to the articular periphery and has two pouches, a small dorsal and larger palmar pouch.  The dorsal pouch extends under the common digital extensor tendon to just proximal of the coronary band. The palmar pouch extends under the deep digital flexor tendon to the approximately half way up the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Middle Phalanx|middle phalanx]]. It dips between the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Phalanx|distal phalanx]]  and sesamoid and bulges laterally where it is related to the collateral ligaments.

The '''navicular bursa''' lies between the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Sesamoid (Navicular) Bone|navicular bone]] and the [[Tendons - Horse Anatomy#Flexors|deep digital flexor tendon]]. The joint capsule attaches to the articular periphery and has two pouches, a small dorsal and larger palmar pouch.  The dorsal pouch extends under the [[Tendons - Horse Anatomy#Extensors|common digital extensor tendon]] to just proximal of the coronary band.

It dips between the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Phalanx|distal phalanx]]  and sesamoid and bulges laterally where it is related to the collateral ligaments.  

The '''collateral ligaments''' connect the distal part of the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Middle Phalanx|middle phalanx]] to the medial and lateral sides of the proximal [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Phalanx|distal phalanx]] . The '''distal sesamoid ligaments''' connect the distal border of the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Sesamoid (Navicular) Bone|navicular bone]] to the flexor surface of the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Phalanx|distal phalanx]] . The '''collateral sesamoid ligaments''' are fibroelastic ligaments that attach to the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Proximal Phalanx|proximal phalanx]] with the collateral ligaments of the pastern joint and insert to the proximal border of the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Sesamoid (Navicular) Bone|navicular bone]] . The [[Hoof - Horse Anatomy#Ungual Cartilages|ungual/lateral cartilages]] have a series of ligaments going to the medial/lateral surfaces of the three phalanges and [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Sesamoid (Navicular) Bone|distal sesamoid (navicular bone)]] . There is also a fibrous band connecting the inner surfaces of the cartilages by crossing the superficial aspect of the [[Tendons - Horse Anatomy#Flexors|deep digital flexor tendon]] .
