DDFT rupture can occur if there was a previous previous injury or the presence of calcification 2. If navicular bones are excessively osteoporotic a neurectomy can lead to failure of the limb!! (contraindication) 3.Re-innervation of the heel 4. Neuroma Formation, Palmer Digital Neurectomy Procedure Complications 1. DDFT rupture can occur if there was a previous previous injury or the presence of calcification 2. If navicular bones are excessively osteoporotic a neurectomy can lead to failure of the limb!! (contraindication) 3.Re-innervation of the heel 4. Neuroma Formation, Palmer Digital Neurectomy Pros and Cons Pros: 1.Simple Cons: 1.Does not treat underlying cause of lameness/pain 2.Does not help if the source of pain is in the dorsal half od the distal limb, SURGERIES OF THE DISTAL LIMB Desmotomy of Inferior check ligament, Palmer Digital Neurectomy Alternatives Epineural capping.
