| description | Injuries of the superficial digital flexor tendon are common in racehorses with many reports on different treatment regimes. However there are few studies in riding horses. The purpose of this study was to document the result of conservative treatment of injuries on the superficial digital flexor tendon in riding horses and to find factors that may be important to the outcome.
Hospital records from 1999 to 2003 of 17 non-racehorses at ATGs Animal Hospital in Skara with the diagnosis tendonitis of the superficial digital flexor tendon were reviewed. Follow-up information on treatment, convalescence and final outcome was collected. The injuries were graded from one to four according to their ultrasonographic appearance, with grade four being the most severe injury. Fourteen (82%) of the horses returned to full athletic function. There was statistically significant correlation between outcome of the injuries graded one to three and the injuries graded four, with no successful recovery in the last group. There was also statistically significant correlation between outcome according to age. Eleven (100%) of the horses ≤ 15 years were successfully recovered compared to three (50%) of the horses > 15 years. Type and time of convalescence varied among the horses and did not seem to be an important factor for the outcome. It was concluded that the prognosis of an injury graded one to three seems to be good and that the prognosis of an injury graded four is poor.

Skador i djupa böjsenan är vanligt på galoppörer och travare där det gjorts många studier på olika behandlingsstrategier. Det har dock gjorts få studier inom ämnet på ridhästar. Syftet med detta arbete är att dokumentera resultatet av konservativ 18 behandling vid skador på ytliga böjsenan hos ridhästar, samt att hitta faktorer av betydelse för behandlingsresultatet. Journaler från 1999 till 2003 på 17 ridhästar med diagnosen tendinit i ytliga böjsenan från ATGs hästsjukhus i Skara granskades. Uppföljande information om behandling, konvalescens och utfall (återställd/ej återställd) samlades in. Skadorna graderades från ett till fyra efter utseendet på ultraljud, där grad fyra indikerade allvarligast skada. Fjorton (82%) av hästarna blev fullt återställda. Det sågs statistisk signisfikans mellan utfallet på skadorna graderade ett till tre och skadorna graderade fyra. Ingen häst i grupp fyra blev återställd. Det sågs även statistisk signifikans mellan utfallet med avseende på ålder. Elva (100%) av hästarna � 15 år blev återställda jämfört med tre (50%) av hästarna > 15 år. Typ och tid av igångsättning och konvalescens varierade mellan hästarna och verkade inte vara en viktig faktor för behandlingsresultatet. Utifrån studien kunde slutsatsen dras att prognosen för en skada av grad ett till tre verkar vara god men att prognosen för en skada av grad fyra är dålig. 2005-04-21 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/11542/1/sjostrom_m_171003.pdf Sjöström, Maria, 2005.
