Intrathecal deep digital flexor tenectomy for treatment of septic tendonitis/tenosynovitis in four horses.

Objective: To describe partial removal of the intrathecal component of the deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT) in horses with chronic septic DDF tendonitis and tenosynovitis unresponsive to conventional therapy, and to report long-term outcome.

Study Design: Case series.

Animals: Horses (n=4).

Fractures of the greater tubercle of the humerus in horses: 15 cases (1986-2004).

Objective: To determine clinical and radiographic abnormalities in and outcome of horses with fractures of the greater tubercle of the humerus and to develop a radiographic technique for obtaining a cranioproximal-craniodistal oblique projection of the proximal portion of the humerus in standing horses.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Animals: 15 horses.
