Annular Ligament Desmotomy

By Dr. Barak Amram in Equine | no comments

Annular ligament desmotomy: Palmar–plantar annular ligament (PAL) constriction is a well recognized syndrome causing chronic lameness in performance horses. Clinically, the superficial digital flexor (SDF) and deep digital flexor (DDF) tendons may become constricted, resulting in pain and a decreased gliding function caused by thickening of the annular ligament (desmitis), — Complete, open transection of the ligament.
