Comparison of Current Techniques for Palmar Digital Neurectomy in Horses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Posterior digital neurectomy by the guillotine technique resulted in longer duration of cutaneous desensitization of the heels and less neuroma formation compared with perineural capping, CO2 laser coagulation, or CO2 laser transection techniques.

Navicular syndrome is a chronic, progressive condition affecting the navicular bone and bursa, deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT), and associated soft tissue structures composing the navicular apparatus. The treatment options for navicular syndrome are as varied as the proposed causes of the condition. The severity of clinical signs, intended use and workload of the horse, and owner compliance w...
متن کاملThe innervation of the proximal interphalangeal joint and its application in neurectomy.
In an anatomic study of 64 fingers, we demonstrated that the proximal interphalangeal joint is innervated by branches of the palmar digital nerves. The number of articular branches ranges from two to four and their origins from the digital nerve are between 2 and 8 mm from the proximal interphalangeal joint. In a clinical series of 24 neurectomies in 21 patients, there was a significant improve...
متن کاملThe palmar metric: A novel radiographic assessment of the equine distal phalanx.
Digital radiographs are often used to subjectively assess the equine digit. Recently, quantitative and objective radiographic measurements have been reported that give new insight into the form and function of the equine digit. We investigated a radio-dense curvilinear profile along the distal phalanx on lateral radiographs we term the Palmar Curve (PC) that we believe provides a measurement of...
