Intermittency: Alternately appearing and disappearing.

Intermittent Upward Fixation of the Patella (IUPF): A condition characterized by inadvertent engagement (or locking) of the patella over the medial trochlear ridge of the femur (an action epitomizing the primary component of the hind stay apparatus).

Interphalangeal: Between two phalanges.

The horse has three phalanges in each limb: the first phalanx (also known as the long pastern bone or P1), the second phalanx (also known as the short pastern bone or P2), and the third phalanx (also known as the coffin bone, pedal bone, or P3). There are two interphalangeal spaces: one between P1 and P2 and one between P2 and P3.
