Featured A new technique that uses ultrasound findings to predict a racehorse’s likelihood of returning to racing after a tendon injury has been described by researchers. The study team say the new system will significantly improve racehorse welfare in both the short and long term. It will enable vets and racehorse trainers to make early and informed decisions on a horse’s future – whether to prescribe rest and recovery before racing again, rehabilitation for another career, or immediate retirement. The ultrasound technique was developed by researchers at the University of Nottingham and Oakham Equine Hospital, both in England,
Epidemiologic data collected from more than 100,000 horses revealed that articular lesions are the most frequent reason owners seek veterinary care for

Rather, the infection takes hold in the area just in front of the epidermal laminae (the sensitive tissues that attach to the hoof wall and help suspend the coffin bone within the hoof capsule).
Conformation standards provide the closest thing to such a blueprint; conventional wisdom holds that conformation faults—deviations from the ideal proportions of the horse’s limbs and body and relationship of these parts to one another—can increase risk of injury and decrease performance ability.
Because 90% of front-end lameness in horses occurs in the foot, hoof-related issues continue to be a hot topic in veterinary medicine
Diagnosing the cause of carpal sheath effusion and predicting how well it will heal are notoriously frustrating endeavors for veterinarians.
They’ve also recently become easier to diagnose thanks to improved imaging technology.
“As the foal ages, that outward rotation tends to correct,” he said. “The chest broadens, and the elbows move out more than the shoulders.”
The current ARCI (Association of Racing Commissioners International) recommended withdrawal times for intra-articular (IA) administration of corticosteroids as seven days for triamcinolone acetonide (TA), betamethasone and isoflupredone, and 21 days for methylprednisolone acetate.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive deterioration of joint health with no known cure.
