Superficial digital flexor tendinopathy is one of the most common orthopedic soft tissue injuries in horses. The veterinary challenge for this condition is less related to identifying the presence of the injury (as it is usually readily evident clinically) but more related to improving the healing process so that the healed tendon is more like normal tendon in biology and function in order to reduce reinjury, which is the key adverse consequence of the injury. Diagnostic imaging has improved in recent years to aid with treatment choices and monitoring the healing process.
指浅屈肌腱病是马最常见的骨科软组织损伤之一。针对这种病症，兽医面临的挑战与其说是识别损伤的存在（因为临床上通常很容易发现），不如说是更多地与改善愈合过程相关，以便愈合后的肌腱在生物学和功能上更接近正常肌腱，从而减少再次受伤，而再次受伤是该损伤的关键不良后果。近年来，诊断成像技术有所改进，有助于治疗选择和监测愈合过程。
