چکیده
Mid-metacarpal deep digital flexor (DDF) tenotomy on a standing horse can be performed with less risk of transecting the neurovascular bundles and adjacent soft tissue with the use of specially designed broad-blade butter-knife retractors.

How to Perform a Modified Standing Deep Digital Flexor Tenotomy at the Level of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint
A modified standing deep digital flexor (DDF) tenotomy at the level of the proximal interphalangeal joint is an effective treatment option for horses with refractory acute or chronic laminitis. Performing the tenotomy at this level increases the release of the tendon compared with the effect of performing the procedure at a mid-metacarpal location. The modified procedure is technically easier t...
متن کاملDeep digital flexor tendon shortening as a treatment for distal interphalangeal joint hyperextension in a 2-year-old mare.
Shortening of the deep digital flexor tendon was performed by tenotomy, overlapping and anastomosis. The procedure was performed on a two-year-old Quarter Horse Mare with distal interphalangeal joint hyperextension with subluxation and metatarsophalangeal joint hyperextension. These problems originated from damage to the digital flexor tendons, presumably due to previous distal limb trauma. The...

متن کاملCharacteristics of collagen fibrils in the entire equine superficial digital flexor tendon.
The superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) is one of the longest tendons in the horse. In racehorses, disturbance of the locomotor functions of the SDFT occurs most frequently in the central area of the mid-metacarpal region. While many studies have investigated the equine SDFT, there are no reports to date of the morphological characteristics of collagen fibrils in the central and peripheral...
