There are lots of other important components but try walking around without ever locking your knees and see how long you last. As bad as this horse's RF looks it appears he can lock his knee and bear weight somewhat efficiently. In doing so his shoulder appears to have paid a price, because of the limbs inability to function properly.
I would still think the LF is more of a liability to any chance at long term comfort because of the possible knee flexion contracture and the alignment of the pastern. Have not seen enough elbow rads to say so.
Your sweet Jim; carrying on the Dan date theme:p:D
The knee/ carpus is alreadly locked....
