Ultrasonographic characteristics (cross-sectional area and relative echogenicity) of the digital flexor tendons and ligaments of the metacarpal region in Purebred Spanish horses

Long-term evaluation of bicipital tenodesis with T-staple in three dogs: a case report

“…Our findings are consistent with the results reported by other authors, confirming that better results are obtained when a linear probe is used for tendon examination in dogs and horses (Long and Nyland 1999;Bruce et al 2000;Kramer et al 2001;Agut et al 2009;Vilar et al 2011;Spinella et al 2013). Moreover, ultrasonographic findings confirmed the biological inactivity and biocompatibility of stainless steel AISI 316L, and revealed minimal tissue reaction of fibre tendon around it, with no chronic or degenerative lesions, up to 12 months after tenodesis (Navarro et al 2008).…”

The cross-sectional area of the superficial digital flexor tendon of trained and untrained Thoroughbred racehorses

“…DENOIX (1996) asserted that SDFT widens greatly behind the intersesamoidean ligament of the fetlock, so the SDFT was significantly larger at the 26cm level because it is anatomically normal. These results are quite similar from the studies performed by AGUT et al (2009) in which the CSA of the SDFT was similar proximally, and then increased distally so that it was largest at the 24-25cm level distal to the accessory carpal bone of Purebred .…”

“…The CSA of the SDFT tendon has been determined in vivo in several studies (SMITH et al, 1994;GILLIS et al, 1995;GENOVESE et al, 1996;REEF, 1998;AGUT et al, 2009); nevertheless, the relation between normal values of the CSA of the right and left forelimbs SDFT for Thoroughbreds racehorses that had been in continuous race training and Thoroughbreds racehorses that had not been in athletic training has not yet been performed.…”

Cross-sectional area of the tendons of the tarsal region in Standardbred trotter horses

“…Accordingly, these parameters assume an important role when evaluating pathological conditions affecting these anatomic components (Smith et al . 1994; Agut et al . 2009).…”

“…1993; Gillis et al . 1995a, 1997; Agut et al . 2009); however, there is no published information regarding the reference dimensions of tendons in the tarsal region of the STH.…”
