In order to assess and establish the association between ultrasonographic and anatomophatological findings, ultrasonographic examinations were performed, post mortem, on the fetlock and associated structures of 37 equine forelimb specimens. All this specimens showed abnormal images or images identified as suspicious on the ultrasound examination. Subsequently, these limbs were dissected and underwent an anatomopathogical study. The association between ultrasonographic and anatomopathological findings was established by comparing data obtained by both methods. Ultrasonographic changes in size, shape, architecture and echogenicity of ligaments, tendons, joint capsule, articular cartilage and bony surfaces of the metacarpophalangeal joint were associated with the anatomopathological findings.
