Desmitis of the accessory ligament of the deep digital flexor tendon (ALDDFT) was diagnosed in 27 horses between September 1986 and December 1990. The first observed clinical sign in four horses was localised swelling in the proximal metacarpus. Twenty horses became lame suddenly during a work period and most developed swelling within 24 h of exercise. The injury was confirmed by ultrasonographic examination. Ten of 13 horses with uncomplicated desmitis of the ALDDFT resumed full work, within three to nine months of the onset of clinical signs, without recurrence of clinical signs in the period of follow-up (nine months to four years). Three horses presented with concurrent acute desmitis of the ALDDFT and superficial digital flexor (SDF) tendonitis and two horses had a history of SDF tendonitis; none of these resumed full work.
1986年9月至1990年12月期间，在27匹马中诊断出指深屈肌腱副韧带（ALDDFT）炎。4匹马最初观察到的临床症状是掌骨近端局部肿胀。20匹马在工作期间突然跛行，大多数在运动后24小时内出现肿胀。通过超声检查确诊损伤。13例ALDDFT单纯性炎症的马匹中，有10匹在出现临床症状后的三至九个月内恢复了全面工作，在随访期间（九个月至四年）没有临床症状复发。3匹马同时出现ALDDFT急性炎症和指浅屈肌（SDF）肌腱炎，2匹马有SDF肌腱炎病史；这些马均未恢复全面工作。
