ABSTRACT

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) research has prioritized mechanism of action and efficacy. Data regarding frequency of use and clinical opinion are not available. A web-based survey was offered to members of the American Association of Equine Practitioners; 144 responses were obtained. Frequency of ESWT use by respondents was as follows: daily by 8.3% (12/144), at least once weekly by 36.8% (53/144), at least once per month by 22.9% (33/144), less than once per month by 19.4% (28/144), and never by 12.5% (18/144) of respondents. The most common reason for use was to treat ligamentous injuries. Opinion of efficacy was variable.


La recherche sur la thérapie extra-corporelle par ondes de choc (ESWT) a priorisé le mécanisme d'action et l'efficacité. Les données concernant la fréquence d'utilisation et l'opinion clinique ne sont pas disponibles. Un sondage sur le web fut offert aux membres de l'American Association of Equine Practitionners; 144 réponses furent obtenues. La fréquence d'utilisation d'ESWT par les répondants était la suivante : quotidiennement par 8,3 % (12/144), au moins une fois semaine par 36,8 % (53/144), au moins une fois par mois 22,9 % (33/144), moins d'une fois par mois par 19,4 % (28/144) et jamais par 12,5 % (18/144) des répondants. La raison la plus fréquente pour son utilisation était pour traiter des blessures aux ligaments. Les opinions sur son efficacité étaient variables.(Traduit par Dr Serge Messier).

ABSTRACT

A 17-year-old Quarter horse mare was presented because of traumatic luxation of the fifth sacral and first coccygeal vertebrae resulting in loss of sensation, motor function, and perfusion of the tail. The case was complicated by an associated tail head hematoma. Due to the severity of the injury, tail amputation was performed at the level of the luxation. Tail amputations in horses at the sacrococcygeal junction following a suspected tail pull injury are infrequently reported in the literature.


Luxation sacrococcygienne et amputation complète de la queue à la suite d'une blessure par traction de la queue chez un cheval. Une jument Quarter horse âgée de 17 ans fut présentée pour cause de luxation traumatique de la cinquième vertèbre sacrée et de la première vertèbre coccygienne résultant en une perte de sensation, de fonction moteur, et de perfusion de la queue. Le cas était compliqué par l'association d'un hématome de la tête de la queue. Compte tenu de la sévérité de la blessure, l'amputation de la queue fut effectuée au site de la luxation. Les amputations de la queue chez les chevaux à la jonction sacrococcygienne à la suite d'une blessure suspectée causée par traction de la queue ne sont rapportées que peu fréquemment dans la littérature.(Traduit par Dr Serge Messier).

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To report complications of arthrodesis of the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint using a drilling technique in an adult horse. STUDY DESIGN: Case report. ANIMALS: Horse (n = 1). METHOD: A 12-year-old Quarter Horse mare with CMC osteoarthritis (CMC-OA) had arthrodesis under general anesthesia in right lateral recumbency. Under fluoroscopic guidance, a 4.5 mm drill bit was inserted at 3 drilling sites 5-6 cm into the CMC joint and was fanned 30-45° in the plane of the joint and 5-10° in the long axis of the limb to destroy articular cartilage and expose the subchondral bone. RESULTS: The horse presented 2 weeks after surgery for severe lameness of the operated limb. A slab fracture of the 2nd carpal bone (C2) and subluxation of the middle carpal (MC) joint was diagnosed. The horse was humanely euthanatized due to poor prognosis. CONCLUSION: The fanning technique of arthrodesis of the CMC joint may lead to fracture of carpal bones, joint instability, and MC joint subluxation. A balance between articular surface destruction and maintenance of joint stability should be achieved when using this technique.
