Harvey Saunders
Signalment and Initial Complaint
- 13 year old, Anglo-Arab Gelding, weighing 559kg.
- He presented with an intermittent right forelimb lameness of 2 -3 month duration.
What would your work up now consist of?
There are 6 things that could be done to achieve a full work up.... (highlight to reveal answers)
- Further history
- Physical Examination
- Gait Analysis
- Diagnostic Analgesia
- Radiographs or Ultrasounds
- Scintigraphy
Clinical Examination Results
A link could be put in here to show you have to perform a clinical exam on a horse
- Forelimb palpation:
- Right Forlimb:
- heat and swelling at proximal metacarpal region
- mild pain elicited on suspensory ligament palpation
- mild thickening of lateral branch of SL (no pain)
- Right Forlimb:
- Hoof testers: negative
Gait Analysis
A link could be put in here to show you have to perform gait analysis on a horse
- Trot straight line: 2/10 Right Forelimb lame
- Soft lunge:
- right rein: 3/10 Right Forelimb lame
- left rein: 2/10 Right Forelimb lame
- Hard lunge:
- right rein: 2/10 RF lame
- left rein: no lameness
- Proximal forelimb flexion, right and left: negative
- Distal forelimb flexion, right and left: negative
What is your Problem List and Differential List?
Problem List
- Pain on palpation
- Swelling
- Lameness
- Thickening of Suspensory Ligament
Differential List
- ?????????
- ????????
What is your revised action plan?
- Diagnostic Analgesia
- Radiographs and Ultrasound
- Scintigraphy
Diagnostic Imaging Results
Ultrasonography
Could put in the video of the ultrasound in here and also a link on how to perform an ultrasound Q: What do you think is going? A: There is a focal hypoechoic area on the dorsal border of the suspensory ligament at its proximal insertion
Radiographs
Put in the actual radiographs and a link on how these radiographs where taken Q; How would you interpret these radiographs? A: Small radiolucent area with new bone formation on palmar mid aspect of the MC3 of RF. This has questionable significance.
Scintigraphy
Put in the scintigraphy images and a link Q: How would you interpret these results? A: Mild IRU w/in proximal aspect of left MC2. Mild IRU w/in middle aspect of R MC2 - unlikely to be of clinical significance
Has this affected your differential list:
- ?????????
- ????????
