  • Title: Avulsion fractures of the origin of the suspensory ligament of the horse.
    Author: Bramlage LR, Gabel AA, Hackett RP.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1980 May 15; 176(10 Pt 1):1004-10. PubMed ID: 7380714.
    Abstract:
    Five horses with avulsion fractures of the proximal origin of the suspensory ligament were examined for lameness. The horses in the series each had lameness of acute onset; four were severely lame, and one was moderately lame. The condition was difficult to diagnose because commonly used local anesthetic blocks did not result in improvement during the routine examination. Local infiltration of the area with local anesthetic returned the horses to soundness. After a period of rest, varying from a few weeks in the acute injury to 6 months in the chronic injuries, the horses were returned to racing without lameness.
