Summary 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.
