Fig. 6.1 Surface features of the pelvic and femoral regions of the gelding: left lateral view. The palpable features have been shaved. An incision marks the point where the patella was nailed to the femoral trochlea, in order to fix the stifle joint. The intermuscular septum between the biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles (the so-called ‘poverty line’) is rarely visible after embalming (see Fig. 6.9).

Fig. 6.2 Bones of the pelvic and femoral regions: left lateral view. The palpable bony features shown in Fig. 6.1 have been coloured red, except the tuber sacrale and the sacral spines. In this skeleton the patella has not been positioned so distally in the trochlea: in the embalmed horse the hindlimb was fully extended before nailing the patella to the trochlea.
