This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Inferior check ligament desmotomy, Flexure deformities of coffin joint or fetlock involving contracture of the deep digital flexor tendon such as Caudal lameness, Make a 3-4 cm incision over the cranial border of the DDFT along the canon bone (at the junction between the proximal third and distal two thirds) Bluntly dissect the loose connective tissue over the flexor tendons & incise the paratenon, Inferior check ligament desmotomy has Post-op management*, Position in Lateral recumbency* either Lateral approach*, Position in dorsal recumency* either Medial approach*, Flexure deformities of coffin joint or fetlock involving contracture of the deep digital flexor tendon such as Clubfoot, Close the paratenon and fascia using absorbable suture material to perform simple continuous suture patterns use non-absorbable suture material to close the skin, Inferior check ligament desmotomy has Surgical technique, Position in Lateral recumbency* either Medial approach*, Extend the limb to ensure the ICL is adequately severed Close the paratenon and fascia using absorbable suture material to perform simple continuous suture patterns, Inferior check ligament desmotomy has Indications*, Administer General anesthesia either Position in dorsal recumency*, Medial approach* Make a 3-4 cm incision over the cranial border of the DDFT along the canon bone (at the junction between the proximal third and distal two thirds), Inferior check ligament desmotomy has Prognosis*, Lateral approach* Make a 3-4 cm incision over the cranial border of the DDFT along the canon bone (at the junction between the proximal third and distal two thirds), Bluntly dissect the loose connective tissue over the flexor tendons & incise the paratenon Find the cleavage plane between the ICL and DDFT, and separate the strctures from each other, Administer General anesthesia either Position in Lateral recumbency*, Incise the ICL using a scalpel, and remove about 1cm of it Extend the limb to ensure the ICL is adequately severed, Inferior check ligament desmotomy has Complications, Complications include Scarring of the incision site
