    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Anatomy
    • Equine Pathology

    Background:

    • Digital flexor tendon injuries are common in horses.
    • Understanding lesion distribution and characteristics is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document the prevalence and types of lesions in equine digital flexor tendons.
    • To correlate macroscopic findings with age and consider diagnostic/therapeutic implications.

    Main Methods:

    • Dissection of 589 limbs from 206 horses.
    • Recording of lesions in superficial and deep digital flexor tendons.
    • Documentation of age-related changes and macroscopic appearances.

    Main Results:

    • Lesions were identified in 174 out of 589 limbs (29.5%).

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Superficial digital flexor tendons had more lesions (131) than deep digital flexor tendons (43).
  • Macroscopic descriptions and age-related changes were recorded.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study provides a detailed anatomical and pathological reference for equine digital flexor tendon lesions.
    • Findings can inform diagnostic imaging and treatment strategies for horses.
    • Age is a factor in the occurrence and type of tendon abnormalities.
