Superficial digital flexor tenotomy and superior check ligament desmotomy in horses: radio-metarcarpal, metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal goniometry

Under general anesthesia the superficial digital flexor tenotomy and superior check ligament desmotomy were performed, respectively, on the right and left forelimbs in nine horses. Before surgery and on 15th, 30th, and 60th postoperative days the radio-metacarpal, metacarpophalangeal, and proximal and distal interphalangeal angles were measured by radiographic examination. Tenotomy decreased significantly the metacarpophalangeal angle (mean ± standard deviation: preoperative – 140.7º ± 6.85; 60th day – 128.2º ± 5.93) and increased the distal interphalangeal angle (mean ± standard deviation: preoperative – 172.6 ± 1.87; 60th day – 167.6 ± 1.36). Desmotomy decreased the proximal interphalangeal angle (mean ± standard deviation: preoperative – 180.2º ± 5.43; 60th day- 197.3º ± 8.29). These surgical procedures did not change the radio-metacarpal angle. The superficial digital flexor tenotomy and the superior check ligament desmotomy cause different and significant changes in joint angles distal to the carpus.<br /><br />KEY WORDS: Desmotomy, horses, joint angles, tenotomy.<br /> A proposta deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da tenotomia do músculo flexor digital superficial e a desmotomia do seu ligamento acessório sobre os ângulos formados pelas faces dorsais radiometacarpiano, metacarpofalângico e interfalângicos proximal e distal em equinos. Realizaram-se em nove equinos a tenotomia do músculo flexor digital superficial no membro torácico direito (MTD) e a desmotomia de seu ligamento acessório no membro torácico esquerdo (MTE). A goniometria radiológica foi procedida no pré-operatório e aos quinze, trinta e sessenta dias após as cirurgias. A tenotomia praticada no MTD diminuiu significativamente o ângulo metacarpofalângico (média com desvio-padrão pré-operatório – 140,7 ± 6,85; sess [...]

Effects of magnesium sulfate and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate on fecal hydration, output and systemic hydration in healthy horses

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of MS and DSS in fecal hydration, output and systemic hydration in healthy horses. Five healthy horses received 3 treatments with a 21-day interval. Treatment 1 was performed with administration of 4 liters of warm water; treatment 2: administration of 4 liters of warm water associated with 1g/kg of MS; and treatment 3: administration of 4 liters of warm water associated with 20mg/kg DSS. General and specific physical examination of the digestive system were performed, alongside with packed cell volume and total plasma protein measurement, abdominal ultrasonography and quantification of the amount and hydration of feces, before and 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours after the treatments. No adverse effects were observed. The administration of laxatives promoted greater fecal output and hydration without resultin...
