| Abstract: | Hospital records of 22 horses referred to the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University (RVAU) of Copenhagen between January 1, 1990 and December 31, 1993 for treatment of digital extensor tendon laations were reviewed, and follow-up information on final outcome was collected to determine whether any injury or treatment factors could be associated with the outcome. Mean age of the horses was 5.2 years (range, 1 to 20 years), and follow-up time ranged from 1 to 5 years after injury. In 21 (95%) of the horses, injury involved the hind limbs. Eleven (50%) horses returned to their original or intended level of use. Eighteen (82%) horses had no signs of lameness. There was no statistically significant correlation between outcome and elapsed time from injury to treatment, type of injury, treatment variables, or wound healing in the present study, and these findings support previous reports. It was concluded that horses with digital extensor tendon lacerations had a favorable prognosis for return to riding soundness and a fair prognosis for return to their original or intended level of use. Tendon suturing and primary wound healing did not improve the prognosis. |
