The medical records and follow-up data for 4 horses with fibrotic myopathy of the semitendinosus muscle treated by semitendinosus tenotomy were reviewed. The gait deficit for each of the 4 horses was typical of fibrotic myopathy. Two of the horses had the gait deficit since birth. The efficacy of semitendinosus tenotomy was compared with the traditional treatment of partial myotenectomy of the affected muscle. The functional results in the 4 horses appeared to be equal to partial myotenectomy in returning the horses to athletic function and, compared with what has been reported, was cosmetically superior.
回顾了4匹接受半腱肌切断术治疗半腱肌纤维化肌病马匹的病历和随访数据。这4匹马的步态缺陷均为典型的纤维化肌病表现。其中2匹马自出生起就存在步态缺陷。将半腱肌切断术的疗效与传统的患肌部分肌腱切除术进行了比较。这4匹马的功能恢复结果在使马匹恢复运动功能方面似乎与部分肌腱切除术相当，而且与已报道的情况相比，在外观上更优。
