Scintigraphic examination plays an important role in the diagnosis of lameness abolished by palmar digital analgesia, particularly in horses with negative or equivocal radiographic changes. While navicular disease was a common diagnosis, third phalanx (PIII) subchondral remodeling or trauma was an important finding, may lead to later fractures of PIII, and was most common in the left front late...

There are multiple surgical techniques to stabilize the bone in digital replantation. Various criteria need to be considered when choosing appropriate bony fixation including operative time, ease of exposure, stability, limitation of the area of dissection, and reproducibility. We describe our technique using internal fixation with a low-profile plate on the palmar aspect of the proximal or mid...

Magnetic resonance imaging can demonstrate core lesions, dorsal tears, and sagittal splits in the deep digital flexor tendon within the hoof capsule in horses with unilateral or bilateral palmar foot pain. Abnormalities of the navicular bone can be seen in horses with no detectable radiological abnormality. Lesions of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone of the distal interphalangeal jo...

We report a 54-year-old patient with the association of hepatic dysfunction with cyanosis, severe hypoxemia, platypnea-orthodeoxia, diffuse cutaneous spider nevi, telangiectasia, palmar erythema, digital clubbing and findings of marked intrapulmonary vascular dilation and arterovenous shunt. The diagnosis of hepato-pulmonary-cutaneous syndrome, a term we think more appropriate and inclusive tha...

Introduction: Dermatoglyphics is the study of dermal ridges and patterns. It frequently used for diagnosis several diseases in human body including congenital deafness. Congenital deafness appears children diagnosed through pathological tests, genetic investigations, or other anatomical measures. Objective: To establish a potential relationship between identification Methods: Forty deaf male fe...

background: sdft, ddft and suspensory ligament are the most important tendons and ligament of the palmar aspect of the metacarpus that contribute to stability mechanism. objectives: the purpose of this study was to describe the tendons and ligaments of the palmar surface of metacarpus in anatoly donkey and compare them with those in horse. methods: 14 healthy anatoly donkeys without lameness we...

The objective of this study was to evaluate relative echogenicity of superficial and deep digital flexor tendons, the accessory ligament of the deep digital flexor tendon and interosseous muscle of the metacarpal region in foals ages 1 week to 4 months; and assess the association between echogenicity and sex or side/laterality. Seven Standardbred trotter foals were examined. Right and left meta...
