Use of standing low-field magnetic resonance imaging to assess oblique distal sesamoidean ligament desmitis in three Thoroughbred racehorses
Desmitis of the oblique distal sesamoidean ligaments (ODSL) is caused by hyperextension of the metacarpophalangeal/metatarsophalangeal joint and has been described as a significant cause of lameness in racehorses. In this study, three Thoroughbred racehorses (age range: 3-6 years) were diagnosed with desmitis of the forelimb ODSL using standing low-field magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI). Radio...
متن کاملUse of Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Diagnose Oblique and Straight Distal Sesamoidean Ligament Desmitis
High field-strength magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an effective method for diagnosing injury to the oblique and straight distal sesamoidean ligaments in horses. In this study, a treatment program, consisting primarily of a 6-mo rest and rehabilitation program, allowed 76% of horses to successfully resume performance. Authors’ addresses: Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, College o...
متن کاملSignal changes in standing magnetic resonance imaging of osseous injury at the origin of the suspensory ligament in four Thoroughbred racehorses under tiludronic acid treatment
Problems associated with the proximal metacarpal region, such as an osseous injury associated with tearing of Sharpey's fibers or an avulsion fracture of the origin of the suspensory ligament (OISL), are important causes of lameness in racehorses. In the present study, four Thoroughbred racehorses (age range, 2-4 years) were diagnosed as having forelimb OISL and assessed over time by using stan...
متن کاملValue of thin-section oblique axial T2-weighted magnetic resonance images to assess uterosacral ligament endometriosis.
BACKGROUND Thin-section oblique axial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful in staging endometrial and cervical carcinomas but there are no data on its contribution to assessing deep endometriosis. We evaluated the contribution of this MRI technique to diagnosis of uterosacral ligament (USL) endometriosis. METHODS In this retrospective study, two radiologists, who were blinded to the sur...
