To report outcome after desmotomy of the accessory ligament of the deep digital flexor tendon (ALDDFT) in adult horses (≥2 years) for treatment of desmitis of the ALDDFT or flexural deformity of the distal interphalangeal joint (FDDIJ).
Case series.
Horses with desmitis of the ALDDFT (n=9) and FDDIJ (n=15).
Records (April 1996-July 2008) of 24 adult horses (mean age, 6.7 years) that had ALDDFT desmotomy were reviewed. Follow-up data was obtained 12-120 months after desmotomy.
Outcome was available for 22 horses; 18 (82%; 6 of 8 horses with desmitis of the ALDDFT and 12 of 14 with FDDIJ) returned to their intended use within 6-24 months (mean, 12 months).
In mature horses, ALDDFT desmotomy resulted in successful return to intended use in most horses with ALDDFT desmitis (75%) or FDDIJ (86%).
报告成年马（≥2岁）深指屈肌腱副韧带（ALDDFT）切断术后治疗ALDDFT腱炎或远侧指间关节弯曲畸形（FDDIJ）的结果。
病例系列。
患有ALDDFT腱炎的马（n = 9）和患有FDDIJ的马（n = 15）。
回顾了24匹成年马（平均年龄6.7岁）在1996年4月至2008年7月期间进行ALDDFT切断术的记录。在切断术后12 - 120个月获得随访数据。
22匹马有随访结果；18匹（82%；ALDDFT腱炎的8匹马中有6匹，FDDIJ的14匹马中有12匹）在6 - 24个月（平均12个月）内恢复到预期用途。
在成年马中，ALDDFT切断术使大多数患有ALDDFT腱炎（75%）或FDDIJ（86%）的马成功恢复到预期用途。
