  • Title: Resection of the common digital extensor tendon in a gelding.
    Author: Booth TM, Clegg PD, Singer ER, Cheeseman MT.
    Journal: Vet Rec; 2000 Mar 25; 146(13):373-6. PubMed ID: 10803983.
    Abstract:
    A four-year-old gelding was lame owing to a chronic septic common digital extensor tendon and sheath. The horse had been treated by open surgical lavage but the sepsis had recurred after three months. Physical, ultrasonographic, cytological and histological examinations confirmed chronic septic tenosynovitis and tendonitis. The entire intrathecal component of the common digital extensor tendon was resected under general anaesthesia and the synovial lining of the sheath was ablated. Postoperatively the horse regained good limb function and became sound.
