Changes

The ungual cartilages have a series of five ligaments going to the medial/lateral surfaces of the three phalanges and [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Sesamoid (Navicular) Bone|distal sesamoid]](navicular) bone. A short ligament extends from the dorsal aspect to the dorsal surface of the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Middle Phalanx|middle phalanx]].  A thin elastic fibre extends from the proximal aspect to the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Proximal Phalanx|proximal phalanx]]. Several short fibres attach from the distal part of the cartilages to the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Phalanx|distal phalanx]]. Another ligament extends from the dorsal region of the cartilages to the insertion point of the [[Tendons - Horse Anatomy#Flexors|deep digital flexor tendon]]. Finally, an extension of the collateral sesamoidean ligament attaches them to the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Sesamoid (Navicular) Bone|navicular bone]].
