Comparison of tenoscopic and ultrasonographic methods of examination of the digital flexor tendon sheath in horses.
The purpose of this study was to compare sonographic and tenoscopic findings with the purpose of establishing the accuracy and limitations of ultrasonograophy as a non-invasive diagnostic modality in evaluating the DFTS and its enclosed tendons. The medical records from 22 horses which underwent tenoscopic desmotomy of the palmar/plantar annular ligament were evaluated in a retrospective study....
متن کاملTenosynovitis of the deep digital flexor tendon in horses.
TENOSYNOVITIS of the deep digital flexor tendon (thoroughpin) in horses is manifested by distention of its tarsal synovial sheath due to formation of an excessive synovial effusion. Unless tenosynovitis is acute, signs of inflammation, pain or lameness are absent (1). Tendinitis can and does occur in conjunction with inflammation of the tarsal synovial sheath. As tendons function they are frequ...
متن کاملIntra-rater variability of sonographic measurements of the Achilles tendon
Introduction: To evaluate adaptation to strength training in clinical diagnostics and follow-up of Achilles Tendinopathy repeated sonographic measurements of the tendon diameter are regularly performed [1]. However, limited data on validity criteria, especially intra-rater variability of anteroposterior (a.p.) diameter of the Achilles tendon (AT) are available. It is unclear whether longitudina...
متن کاملFlexor tendon injuries.
What are the causes of fl exor tendon injuries? Flexor tendon injuries are most commonly caused by a sharp cut to the fi nger or palm. Rupture of the attachment of the tendon to the fi nger can also occur and is commonly associated with recreational sports (such as tackling in football when the tackler’s fi nger becomes entangled in the opponent’s jersey). Flexor tendon injuries can also occur ...
متن کاملSuspension of bone marrow-derived undifferentiated mesenchymal stromal cells for repair of superficial digital flexor tendon in race horses.
It has been proven that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) can differentiate into tenocytes. Attempts to repair tendon lesions have been performed, mainly using scaffold carriers in experimental settings. In this article, we describe the clinical use of undifferentiated MSCs in racehorses. Significant clinical recovery was achieved in 9 of 11 horses evaluated using ultrasound analysis and their a...
