The hore can return to training in 60 days post operation., Palmar Digital Neurectomy Procedure The Guillotine Technique: 1) The horse is groomed and the feet are cleaned and is placed under general anesthesia 2) Palmar digital nerver block using local anesthetics is done at the abaxial level of proximal sesamoid bones 3) The hair on the foot to be denerved is clipped and the site is perpared for sugery aseptically. 4) A 1.5-2cm incison is made through the skin and subcutaneous tissue next to the neurovascular bundle on the palmar aspect of the foot 5) The nerve is seprerated and elevated carefully from the bundle using a small curved mosquito hemostat 6) Gentle traction is applied to the exposed nerve to aid in identifying the nerve in the proximal pastern region 7) The nerve is stretched and is transected sharply 8) The wound is closed using simple interupted or cruciate suture patterns 9) The limb is wrapped in a padded perssure bandage drom distal coronary band to proximal coronary bone region, Palmar Digital Neurectomy Complications Lamness may continue if the pain occurs in the dorsal half of distal digit., Superior Check Ligament Desmotomy indicated for Superficial digital flexor tendinitis in racehorses, Superior Check Ligament Desmotomy Procedure Steps and Relevant Anatomical Information, SPLINT BONE REMOVAL (scroll over) POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS If not treated properly/ quickly: 1.Non-union 2.Osteomyelitis 3.Formation of a sequestrum or excessive callus 4.suspensory desmitis, COMMON SURGICAL PROCEDURES ASSOCIATED WITH LAMENESS Medial Patella Desmotomy, SPLINT BONE REMOVAL (scroll over) PROCEDURE See document and video
