Degenerative suspensory ligament desmitis as a systemic disorder characterized by proteoglycan accumulation
BACKGROUND Degenerative suspensory ligament desmitis (DSLD) is a debilitating disorder thought to be limited to suspensory ligaments of Peruvian Pasos, Peruvian Paso crosses, Arabians, American Saddlebreds, American Quarter Horses, Thoroughbreds, and some European breeds. It frequently leads to persistent, incurable lameness and need to euthanize affected horses. The pathogenesis remains unclea...
متن کاملBilateral degenerative suspensory desmitis with acute rupture in a Standardbred colt
A 3-month-old Standardbred colt was examined for acute, bilateral hindlimb swelling and lameness. Serum chemistry demonstrated elevated muscle enzymes (AST, ALT, LDH and CK). Radiographs of the hindlimbs demonstrated intact proximal sesamoid bones that were displaced distally and subluxation of the pastern joints. Ultrasonography of the affected areas revealed large, diffuse hypoechoic areas in...
متن کاملIn Vivo Evaluation of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy for collagenase Induced Suspensory Ligament Desmitis
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy improved the rate of healing of collagenase-induced suspensory ligament desmitis in horses, as measured by ultrasonographic imaging. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy resulted in a statistically significant decrease in lesion area and improved fiber alignment and echogenicity of the ligament in treated ligaments when compared with control ligaments. Authors’ ad...
متن کاملProximal Suspensory Desmitis in the Sports Horse in Forelimbs
Proximal suspensory desmitis (PSD) results in sudden onset lameness, which can be remarkably transient, resolving within 24 hours unless the horse is worked hard. In horses with more chronic injury lameness may be persistent. PSD in forelimbs occurs in horses of all ages and from all disciplines. Extravagantly moving young dressage horses and older upper level competition horses are particularl...
متن کاملProximal Suspensory Desmitis in the Forelimb and the Hindlimb
The suspensory ligament (SL) can be divided into three separate regions which are subject to injury: the proximal part, the body, and the branches. For clinical purposes in the forelimb the proximal part extends from approximately 4 to 12 cm distal to the accessory carpal bone, and in the hindlimb from approximately 2 to 10 cm distal to the tarsometatarsal joint. In the forelimb, the SL origina...
