Abstract
Instability of the collateral ligaments of the carpal or metacarpophalangea l joint occurred in 2 foals. The instability was repaired using commercial suture anchors. In foals, commercial suture anchors combined with external coaptation can be used successfully to repair collateral ligament instabili ty of the carpus or the metacarpophalangeal joint.
