Osteosynthesis of third metacarpal (McIII) and metatarsal (MtIII) bone fractures in horses is a surgical challenge complications surrounding the repair are common. Retrospective studies evaluating repair, outcome necessary to increase knowledge improve success long fracture horse.To evaluate clinical findings, post operative 10 mature 11 foals with McIII or MtIII that were treated open reduction internal fixation (ORIF).Medical records reviewed follow-up information obtained by means...

Summary Facial fractures are a common presentation in equine practice, with management strategies ranging from conservative treatment for stable to surgical intervention displaced or unstable cases. Resorbable implants present several advantages over conventional metal implants, including lower risk of infection, elimination the need implant removal, and gradual degradation during healing process. Their application patients has shown promising results two cases involving low‐stress...

Equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis (EOTRH) is a painful progressive dental disease that mainly affects the incisors canine teeth of aged horses. Diagnosis based on radiographs to detect early stages disease. EOTRH probably underdiagnosed its prevalence in Germany unknown.This study was performed determine radiological large horse population Berlin-Brandenburg, Germany.Prevalence study.The (142 horses) consisted all horses 10 years older were presented at Hospital for...

Five cows with reticular abscesses were examined clinically, haematologically, radiographicaHly and ultrasonographically. They all had clinical signs typical of traumatic reticuloperitonitis, including chronic indigestion, pyrexia, an absence or reduced ruminal motility, weight loss a positive reaction to foreign body tests. A haematological examination revealed anaemia, increased concentrations plasma protein fibrinogen decreased clotting time in the glutaraldehyde test. On basis...

Hindlimb lameness evaluation is known to be challenging. Experience essential for the ability of equine veterinarians detect lameness. Nevertheless, even an experienced veterinarian still subject bias. Objective detecting methods have been established aid veterinarians.1) To estimate effect experience on interobserver agreement and between a body-mounted inertial sensor system (BMISS) hindlimb lameness, 2) BMISS highly change in after diagnostic analgesia.Cross-sectional study.Twenty-six...

Summary Objective: Even though equine multi-limb tendinopathy models have been reported, it is unknown if fore- and hindlimb tendon healing behave similarly. The aim of this study was to compare the process surgically induced superficial digital flexor (SDFT) core lesions hindlimbs in horses. Methods: Tendon were SDFT both eight One randomly assigned forelimb one injected with saline two weeks post-surgery. monitored clinically ultrasonographically. After 24 weeks, tendons harvested...

Summary This report describes a successful surgical repair of medial patellar luxation in Miniature Shetland pony where manual reduction the patella was not possible. The procedure involves transection femoropatellar ligament to facilitate release, placement prosthetic suture replace lateral and reinforcement retinaculum by use mesh implant. is newly described technique for rare but recognised condition patella.

Summary Interpretation of cervical radiographs can be challenging due to the complex anatomy and superimposition osseous structures on either side vertebrae. This report describes investigation neck pain in a Thoroughbred gelding following traumatic fall. Several imaging modalities were used demonstrate presence fracture left cranial articular process fourth vertebra (C4), including nuclear scintigraphy, ultrasonography, oblique radiographic projections novel cineradiographic technique....

Two cows from different herds in a district of Switzerland known to harbour ixodid ticks had erythematous lesions on the hairless skin udder, were poor general condition with appetite and decreased milk production, stiff gait swollen joints. Borrelia burgdorferi sensu strictu DNA was detected samples synovial fluid one afzelii other by means real-time PCR.

In 24 horses a lameness was assessed on the straight line before and after diagnostic anaesthesia by body-mounted inertial sensor systems (BMISS) two experience veterinarians.For further studies video clips test unit (n =101) of all trials were used.The evaluators blinded from results BMISS.The inter-observers agreement evaluation between BMISS observers classified into 3 categories; 1) right forelimb or greater than left lameness, 2) 3) sound equal lameness.Kappa statistic (k), percentage...

To describe a novel fixation of open, unstable, unilateral mandibular fractures applying locking compression plate as an external skeletal fixator (ESF-LCP).Four horses and one dromedary.Short case series.Animals presented with the mandible. Fracture was performed under general anesthesia. A 4.5/5.5 narrow LCP applied externally above level skin combined intraoral tension band wiring.Fracture achieved successfully using ESF-LCP.
