Position of the Proximal Manica Flexoria under different grades of fetlock joint extension - A biomechanical observational study in the equine fore- and hindlimb.

Objective:  The aim of this study was to examine the position of the proximal manica flexoria and the proximal scutum under different grades of fetlock joint extension and to describe measurements and compare findings between equine fore- and hindlimbs.

Study Design:  It was an observational study.

Results:  During fetlock joint extension, the proximal manica flexoria and the proximal scutum displace distally relative to the palmar/plantar extent of the sagittal ridge of the cannon bone.

Application of locking compression plates as type 1 external fixators to treat unilateral mandibular fractures in four equids and one dromedary.

Objectives: To describe a novel fixation of open, unstable, unilateral mandibular fractures applying a locking compression plate as an external skeletal fixator (ESF-LCP).

Animals: Four horses and one dromedary.

Study Design: Short case series.

Single-cut osteotomy for correction of a complex multiplanar deformity of the radius in a Shetland pony foal.

Objective: To describe the surgical correction of a multiplanar deformity of the radius in a pony using a single-cut osteotomy.

Study Design: Case report.

Animals: A 9-week-old male Shetland pony foal with a bodyweight of 47 kg.

Ex vivo evaluation of an alternative technique for resection of the proximal manica flexoria in horses.

Objective: To describe and evaluate an alternative technique for tenoscopic resection of the manica flexoria (MF).

Study Design: Descriptive study.

Sample Population: Equine cadaver forelimbs and hind limbs (n = 36).

Internal fixation of a complete ventral luxation of the dens axis in an American quarter horse yearling.

Objective: To report surgical treatment of a complete luxation of the atlantoaxial articulation with a 4.5-mm T-locking compression plate (T-LCP) in a horse.

Study Design: Case report.
