Use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Diagnose Oblique and Straight Distal Sesamoidean Ligament Desmitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

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...

Injuries involving the pastern region are a common source of lameness in many types of performance horses. Knowledge of the common breedand activity-associated injuries can aid veterinarians in making an accurate diagnosis because injuries of the pastern region are often breedor use-specific. The differential diagnosis for disorders of the pastern region includes osteoarthritis, osteochondrosis...

BACKGROUND Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction in adults often utilizes screw fixation in the distal femur. The aim was to define the safety of similar fixation in young patients, with respect to their open physis. PURPOSE To define the age-related relationship between the femoral insertion of the MPFL and the medial aspect of the distal femoral physis on magnetic resonance i...
