Tendon injury is one of the most common causes of wastage in the performance horse; the majority of tendon injuries occur to the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) whereas few occur to the common digital extensor tendon. This review outlines the epidemiology and aetiology of equine tendon injury, reviews the different functions of the tendons in the equine forelimb and suggests possible reasons for the high rate of failure of the SDFT. An understanding of the mechanisms leading to matrix degeneration and subsequent tendon gross failure is the key to developing appropriate treatment and preventative measures.
肌腱损伤是运动马淘汰的最常见原因之一；大多数肌腱损伤发生在浅表背侧屈肌腱（SDFT），而很少发生在普通趾伸肌腱。本文概述了马属动物肌腱损伤的流行病学和病因学，回顾了马前肢肌腱的不同功能，并提出了 SDFT 高失败率的可能原因。了解导致基质退化和随后肌腱总断裂的机制是制定适当治疗和预防措施的关键。
