| Summary: | Injury to the tendons of equines is extremely common, due to the high-effort activities to which
this species is subjected, on the other hand, any breed can predispose to this type of injury, the
most accurate diagnosis is ultrasound, since that, through this, each anatomy structure and its
abnormalities are evidenced. Thanks to this, different studies have been carried out to find out
what type of treatment should be used in these cases and which is the most effective. The clinical
case of a female equine, Colombian Creole, approximately 10 years old is described. On clinical
examination, a laceration of the right hind limb, of approximately 6cm, was evidenced in the
superficial and deep flexor tendons, with 5/5 claudication. It should be taken into account that one
of the most common problems in equines is pathologies in the locomotor system, due to many
factors. It is important to know that anatomically the tendons are anatomically made to support a
large amount of weight and also allow the displacement of the animal with other structures. When
there is an alteration in the tendons, at present, there are different types of diagnosis, and
treatments, on the other hand, it must be taken into account that after injuries, they heal slowly and
never regain their original biomechanical characteristics. |
