Treatment of Suspensory Ligament Desmopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Suspensory ligament desmopathy is a significant cause of lameness in performance and racehorses. Although injuries to the branches and body can normally be treated successfully with supportive care and rest, injuries at the origin and insertion can become chronic non-healing injuries, which require stimulation of healing to resolve the lameness.
