How to Use a Fetlock Support Brace to Manage Lacerations of Equine Flexor Tendons
نویسندگان
چکیده
Horses with flexor tendon lacerations can be treated with the application of a fetlock support brace. This results in decreased time of hospitalization and decreased cost, and it achieves success rates comparable with the more traditional treatments that involve tenorrhaphy and cast immobilization.

متن کاملJoint moments in the distal forelimbs of jumping horses during landing.
Tendon injuries are an important problem in athletic horses and are probably caused by excessive loading of the tendons during demanding activities. As a first step towards understanding these injuries, the tendon loading was quantified during jump landings. Kinematics and ground reaction forces were collected from the leading and trailing forelimbs of 6 experienced jumping horses. Joint moment...
