How Useful Is Nuclear Scintigraphy in the Diagnosis and Management of Proximal Suspensory Desmitis in the Horse?
In many horses with proximal suspensory desmitis, radiopharmaceutical uptake (RU) in the proximal aspect of the third metacarpal (metatarsal) bone is normal. Increased RU reflects an enthesopathy, which may influence both treatment and prognosis.

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...

متن کاملShort term analgesic effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in horses with proximal palmar metacarpal/plantar metatarsal pain.
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is an accepted form of treatment for chronic cases of proximal suspensory desmitis (PSD). Subjective evaluation of horses shortly after being treated with ESWT has led clinicians to comment on an immediate reduction in lameness. This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic effect of ESWT on 16 horses with PSD or PSD-like pain in a fore- or hindlimb. To obj...
