In the paper written by Ogden et al. (2019) in this edition of Equine Veterinary Education, a complete tear of the vastus medialis muscle was considered as the cause of the lateral luxation of the patella in a 2-day-old cob colt. As muscle tears can be documented with ultrasound, this short commentary is presenting normal ultrasonographic images of the quadriceps femoris (QF) muscle and findings on two clinical cases.
