摘要:

In chronical proximal sesamoid bone lameness it is difficult to localise the exact site of pain. A specific diagnostic analgesia is not available because of a deficiency of detailed information about the nerve supply to the proximal sesamoid bones and surrounding area.

摘要:

To answer the question whether it is possible to differentiate, by means of a high plantar nerve block in the hind limb, flexor tendon lameness from a suspensory ligament lameness, mid‐plantar tendinitis or desmitis was induced with collagenase in five Standardbred horses in two trials.

摘要:

Over a 2 year‐period, the ultrasonographic localization and distribution of flexor tendinous and ligamentous injuries, the long‐term follow‐up, and the outcome were studied in 101 Dutch Warmblood horses (DW) with a mean age of 8.7 years and in 71 Standardbred racehorses (ST) with a mean age of 5.2 years.

摘要:

Eight metatarsophalangeal (fetlock) joints were studied in anaesthetized young ponies. Pressure measurements were made in the joint and at various sites in the marrow cavity of the third metatarsal bone with simultaneous measurement of systemic arterial and venous blood pressures. Fetlock joint flexion was always associated with a statistically significant initial decrease in intra‐articular pressure (p<0.05) followed by a marked increase in pressure (p<0.05). Subsequent extension was accompanied by a similar pressure pattern, although there appeared to be a hysteretic relationship. Fetlock joint distension induced by incremental injection of saline caused a stepwise increase in the intra‐articular pressure.

摘要:

A kinematic analysis was carried out to compare treadmill and overground locomotion in horses at the trot. Stride variables and limb and trunk movements of 10 Dutch Warmblood horses were measured using the CODA‐3 gait analysis system. Overground recordings were made on a rubber ground surface and on an asphalt track. Treadmill recordings were taken after a controlled habituation programme and at the same velocities as measured overground.

摘要:

This study was conducted to identify objective criteria to select young horses with a good gait, which is a prerequisite for good performance in adult horses. The trot of 24 26‐month‐old Dutch Warmbloods, led on a loose shank, was subjectively scored by a judge and objectively assessed on a treadmill by using kinematic analysis equipment. It appeared that forelimb and hind limb stride and swing duration, scapula rotation, forelimb maximal fetlock extension, forelimb maximal retraction, hind limb maximal protraction, maximal stifle flexion, and maximal tarsal flexion significantly correlated with a generally accepted gait score in which length, suppleness, and strength are judged. Moreover, the ranking of the individual horses on the basis of gait quality according to their objectively measured kinematic variables was similar to the subjective ranking given by the judge. Thus, a complete picture was obtained of the variables in equine locomotion that determine the quality of the trot in warmbloods.

摘要:

Toe weights are applied to influence the stride characteristics of trotters. The quantitative effect of 88‐g toe weights on the stride characteristics of Standardbred trotters was evaluated in a kinematic study using a CODA‐3 analysis system. Six trotters were studied at a speed of 11 m/s on a treadmill. Temporal gait variables, joint angles, and the trajectories of the forelimb hoof were calculated.

摘要:

The clinical signs, the radiographic appearance, and the treatment of two cases of fracture of the accessory carpal bone are described. The fractures were in the vertical plane. Surgical intervention consisted out of fixation of the fracture with two lag screws. Follow‐up information revealed that one horse became sound and returned to complete athletic activity whereas the other horse remained lame.

摘要:

Eleven young cattle (8–24 months of age) were treated for septic physitis of the metacarpal or metatarsal bones. Two new elements were added to the traditional treatment. Firstly, homologous cancellous bone grafts were used for their osteoinductive properties even in an infected surrounding. (Actinomyces pyogeneswas recovered most commonly.) Secondly, a walking cast was applied for better immobilization of the lower limb with minimal discomfort to the animal. After surgery, the 11 bovine patients needed an average walking cast period of 4.5 weeks and 1 to 2 weeks’ treatment with antibiotics. The new treatment regime expedites the healing process and shows a success rate of 100%. Follow‐up after 6 months revealed that all animals were completely sound without recurrence of the physitis.
