Medical records of 7 adult horses with single or multiple ligament failure of the femorotibial ligaments were reviewed to evaluate signalment, history, diagnostic and treatment methods, outcome, and long-term follow-up information. Acute onset of lameness was recorded for most of the horses. Horses with multiple ligament injury had more severe clinical signs than did horses with single ligament injury. Horses with single ligament injury generally required manipulative tests to localize the lameness to the stifle. In all horses, radiography of the stifle assisted in the diagnosis. Horses either were euthanatized (n = 3) or were treated by stall rest (n = 4) after diagnosis. Of the 4 surviving horses, 2 became successful breeding animals, 1 was awaiting breeding, and 1 was used unsuccessfully as a breeding animal. Necropsy findings in 2 of the 3 horses euthanatized after diagnosis revealed early articular damage in 1 horse 1 day after injury, and degenerative joint disease in the other horse 1 year after injury.
回顾了7匹成年马的病历，这些马存在股胫韧带单处或多处韧带损伤，以评估其特征、病史、诊断和治疗方法、结果以及长期随访信息。大多数马记录有急性跛行发作。多处韧带损伤的马比单处韧带损伤的马临床症状更严重。单处韧带损伤的马通常需要进行手法检查以将跛行定位到膝关节。所有马均通过膝关节X线摄影辅助诊断。诊断后，3匹马实施了安乐死，4匹马接受了厩内休息治疗。在4匹存活的马中，2匹成为成功的种马，1匹等待配种，1匹作为种马使用未成功。诊断后实施安乐死的3匹马中，有2匹马的尸检结果显示，1匹马在受伤1天后出现早期关节损伤，另一匹马在受伤1年后出现退行性关节病。
