knee

A term used to refer to the carpus of the horse. Anatomically speaking this term is incorrect; its use originates from the joint's resemblance to the human knee joint.
The true equivalent of a human knee in the horse is the stifle joint (the joint between the femur and the tibia in the hind limb).
