Abstract

Simple Summary: Perineural anesthesia of the tibial nerve can be performed ultrasound-guided or blindly, with the latter still being commonly used in equine practice due to practical constraints, despite its lower accuracy and hence, its common failure to achieve desensitization. This may be associated with anatomical variations or inadequate landmarks for injection. In this anatomical study on the course of the tibial nerve on paired cadaveric limbs, we found that problems with perineural anesthesia cannot simply be attributed to anatomical variations. The large diameter of the tibial nerve (6 ± 1 mm) and the substantial amount of perineural tissue may present specific challenges for achieving adequate desensitization. Regarding landmarks, this study confirms that perineural injection should be performed 10 cm proximal to the proximocranial aspect of the calcaneal tubercle and 11 mm cranial to the superficial digital flexor. Perineural anesthesia of the tibial nerve can be performed ultrasound-guided or blindly, with the latter still being commonly used in equine practice due to practical constraints, despite its lower accuracy and hence, common failure to achieve desensitization. This may be associated with anatomical variations or inadequate landmarks for injection. To examine the course of the tibial nerve, document potential anatomical variations, and determine optimal landmarks for perineural injection, dissection was conducted along the medial aspect of the tibia in 10 paired cadaver hindlimbs. No anatomical variations of the tibial nerve were observed. Mean tibial nerve thickness was 6 ± 1 mm. The junction with the plantar nerves was located at a maximum of 85 mm and the junction with the medial cutaneous branch was at a maximum of 150 mm proximal to the proximal aspect of the calcaneal tubercle. The mean distance of the tibial nerve to the cranial border of the superficial digital flexor was 11 ± 6 mm. In conclusion, problems with perineural anesthesia of the tibial nerve cannot simply be attributed to anatomical variations. The thickness of the nerve and the amount of perineural tissue may present specific challenges for achieving adequate desensitization. Our results support the generally recommended site for tibial nerve perineural injection at 100 mm proximal to the calcaneal tubercle and 11 mm cranial to the superficial digital flexor.

Abstract

Background: Potential synovial penetration following palmar digital nerve blocks has not been investigated. Objectives: To evaluate the proximity of needles placed for palmar digital nerve blocks to nearby synovial structures using computed tomography (CT). Study design: Descriptive observational study. Methods: In 18 cadaver forelimbs, sequential injection of the navicular bursa (NB), distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) and digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS) was performed using 3, 5 and 10 mL diluted radiodense contrast medium, respectively. After each synovial injection, 25 gage needles were placed over the palmar digital nerves at the proximal aspect of the ungular cartilages (distal injections) and 1 cm further proximally (proximal injections), and CT examination was performed. Subsequently, needles were removed, and the synovial structures further distended with the same volume as for the first injection. Perineural needle placement and image acquisition were repeated. The distance between the needle tip and adjacent synovial structures was measured (mm) in reconstructed images. Results were analyzed in separate general linear mixed models, to determine the effect of needle position and synovial distension on the distance from the tip of the needle to the NB, DFTS and DIPJ. Results: Synovial penetration was confirmed following 12/420 (3%) needle placements (NB n = 5, 1 after proximal and 4 after distal injections; DIPJ n = 2, DFTS n = 2, NB or DIPJ n = 3, all after distal injections). The mean distance from the needle tip to the NB and DIPJ was significantly smaller after the second distension (NB: p = 0.025; DIPJ: p < 0.001) and with the distal needle placements (NB: p < 0.001; DIPJ: p < 0.001). For the DFTS, the distance from the needle tip was significantly smaller with the proximal needle placements (p = 0.001). Main limitations: Ex-vivo study. Conclusion: There is a small risk of synovial penetration when performing palmar digital nerve blocks, especially when distension of adjacent synovial structures is present. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Polyamide 11 (PA11) and copolyester (TPC-E) were compounded through melt extrusion with low levels (below 10%) of expanded graphite (EG), aiming at the manufacturing of a thermally and electrically conductive composite resistant to friction and with acceptable mechanical properties. Thermal characterisation showed that the EG presence had no influence on the onset degradation temperature or melting temperature. While the specific density of the produced composite materials increased linearly with increasing levels of EG, the tensile modulus and flexural modulus showed a significant increase already at the introduction of 1 wt% EG. However, the elongation at break decreased significantly for higher loadings, which is typical for composite materials. We observed the increase in the dielectric and thermal conductivity, and the dissipated power displayed a much larger increase where high frequencies (e.g., 10 GHz) were taken into account. The tribological results showed significant changes at 4 wt% for the PA11 composite and 6 wt% for the TPC-E composite. Morphological analysis of the wear surfaces indicated that the main wear mechanism changed from abrasive wear to adhesive wear, which contributes to the enhanced wear resistance of the developed materials. Overall, we manufactured new composite materials with enhanced dielectric properties and superior wear resistance while maintaining good processability, specifically upon using 4–6 wt% of EG.

Abstract

Background High-power laser therapy gained popularity recently as a regenerative treatment for tendinitis and desmitis in the horse. However, studies evaluating the effects of laser therapy on tissue repair at the histological level in large mammals are lacking. Objectives To evaluate the effects of high-power laser therapy on suspensory desmitis healing, using a model of suspensory ligament branch injury. Study design In vivo experiments. Methods Standardised lesions were surgically induced in all four lateral suspensory branches of 12 healthy Warmblood horses. Laser therapy (class 4, 15W) was applied daily on two of four induced lesions for four consecutive weeks. Horses were randomly assigned to either short-term study (horses were sacrificed after 4 weeks) or long-term study (6 months). Suspensory ligament samples were scored after staining with haematoxylin-eosin and immunostaining for collagen 1- collagen 3- and factor VIII. Results In the short-term study, significantly better (lower) scores for variation in density (17% above cut-off score in treated lesions vs. 31% above cut-off score in controls, P = .03), shape of nuclei (54% vs 92%, P = .02), fibre alignment (32% vs 75%, P = .003) and fibre structure (38% vs 71%, P = .02) were found in laser-treated lesions when compared to controls. Collagen 3 expression was significantly higher (32% vs 19%, P = .006) in control lesions. In both short- and long-term studies combined, parameters lesion size (44% vs 56%, P = .02) and shape of nuclei (53% vs 84%, P = .05) scored significantly better in treated lesions. Long-term, significantly better (lower) scores were found in the laser-treated group for lesion size (15% vs 45%, P = .008) and a higher percentage above cut-off score for density of the nuclei (27% vs 9%, P = .02), compared to controls. Main limitations The model of suspensory branch injury is not an exact representation of clinical overstrain lesions. Conclusions These results suggest that high-power laser therapy enables better lesion healing than conservative treatment.

Abstract

Introduction: Rupture of the common digital extensor tendon (CDET) in foals is sparsely documented in liter-ature. Materials and methods: Retrospective study of foals with CDET rupture presented to the University of Ghent and Han-nover between 2009 and 2020. History, clinical examination and treatment details were retrieved from clinical records, and outcome was based on telephone questionnaire with the owner. Results: Twenty foals were identified. The sample consisted of mostly Warmbloods (15/20), with an equal distribution between male and female foals. Median age on admission was 7.5 days (range 1–21). Twelve foals presented with concurrent flexural deformity. In two cases, no treatment was performed due to financial restrictions. Treatment included medical support, immobilization (bandage/splint/cast, tailored to the individual case and stage of healing), and box rest. The foals were hospitalized for a median of 27.5 days (range 7–76); all foals survived to discharge. Fol-low-up was obtained for 18 horses. Three horses were euthanized for reasons unrelated to CDET rupture. All foals treated in 2020 (n=6) presented excellent short-term functional and cosmetic outcome (median follow-up 6.5 months, range 4–8), whereas 5/9 foals treated in pre-ceding years (median follow-up 33 months, range 12–90) were reported to have limitations in performance, which owners attributed to CDET rupture earlier in life. Conclusion and discussion: Rupture of the CDET is a rare condition often requiring prolonged veterinary care, especially in cases with concurrent flexural deformity. Further research is required to investigate the potential association with limitations in athletic performance later in life.

Abstract

High-power laser therapy is often used as a treatment for human sport injuries but controlled standardized studies on its efficacy are lacking. The technique has also been introduced in the equine field and recently promising results were reported in a retrospective study focusing on 150 sporthorses suffering from tendinopathy and desmopathy of the SDFT, DDFT, suspensory ligament, and suspensory branches. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the effect of high-power laser in a standardized lesion model in horses. Lesions were created in all lateral suspensory branches of 12 warmblood horses. In each horse, 2 of the 4 lesioned branches were treated daily with a multi-frequency high-power laser for 4 weeks. Color Doppler ultrasonography was performed during and after the treatment period. Six horses were euthanized 4 weeks post-surgery (short-term) and 6 were further rehabilitated until 6 months and then euthanized (long-term). High-field MRI evaluation was performed on all cadaver limbs. On ultrasound, transverse size of the lesion was significantly smaller after 2- and 3 months (p = 0.026 and p = 0.015) in the treated branches. The expected post-surgery enlargement of the lesion circumference and cross-sectional area (CSA) over time, was significantly lower in the short-term laser treated group (p = 0.016 and p = 0.010). Treated lesions showed a significantly increased Doppler signal during treatment (p < 0.001) compared with control. On MRI, in the short and long-term group, the CSA of the lesions was significantly smaller (p = 0.002), and the mean signal significantly lower in the treatment groups (p = 0.006). This standardized controlled study shows that multi-frequency high-power laser therapy significantly improves healing of a suspensory branch ligament lesion.

Abstract

A ten-year-old Warmblood dressage gelding was presented with acute instability of the nuchal ligament after paddock turnout. Based on the clinical signs, orthopedic and neurologic examination, diagnostic imaging and electromyography, cervical neuromuscular dysfunction of the M. obliquus capitis caudalis on the right side of the neck was diagnosed. Conservative treat-ment including steroidal anti-inflammatory medication in combination with oral supplementation with vitamin B1 and box rest resulted in complete recovery of the horse within six months.
