Evaluation of frontlimb flexor tendinitis in horses by ultrasonographic examination
In this study, the normal and abnormal proportions of the flexor tendons of forelimbs of healty and tendinitis throughbred horses were measured ultrasonographically. Dimensions, circumferences and cross-sectional areas of the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT), deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT...

| description | In this study, the normal and abnormal proportions of the flexor tendons of forelimbs of healty and tendinitis throughbred
horses were measured ultrasonographically. Dimensions, circumferences and cross-sectional areas of the superficial digital flexor
tendon (SDFT), deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT), check ligament (CL) and suspensory ligament (SL) were measured. The
determination of the physiological boundaries of those tendons were aimed. The horse which are used in the study are 2-4 years old, in
healty 19 and 6 horses with tendinitis throughbreds these measurements were applicated. Throughbred english horse area 2 for
circumferences values of the MFDS were 0.869 + 0.453 cm<sup>2</sup>, MFDD values were 1,062 + 0.510 cm<sup>2</sup>, IC values were 1,324 + 0.647 cm<sup>2</sup>
and the horses with tendinitis values of the MFDS (0.625 + 0.181), MFDD (0.830 + 0.285) and LA (0.687 + 0.220) cm<sup>2</sup> were estimated.
There are no differences between two groups by statistically. Area 2 for lenght values of the MFDS were 1.615 + 0.649 cm, MFDD
values were 1.698 + 0.600 cm, IC values were 2.078 + 0.665 cm, the horses with tendinitis values of the MFDS (1.213 + 0.335) cm,
MFDD (1.303 + 0.160), ve LA (1.413 + 0.349) cm were evaluated. Especially, MFDD tendon and LA tendon show statistically
differences between compared to normal one concern about lenght of tendon. As a conclusion, healty thoroughbred English horses and
horses with tendinitis of flexor tendons of forelimbs were determined of morphometric measurements by ultrasonographically. The
standard measurements were compared to tendinitis group and other breeds. |
