Helping you to apply many different diagnostic tools, Diagnosis and Management of Lameness in the Horse, 2nd Edition
explores both traditional treatments and alternative therapies for
conditions that can cause gait abnormalities in horses. Written by an
international team of authors led by Mike Ross and Sue Dyson, this
resource describes equine sporting activities and specific lameness
conditions in major sport horse types. It emphasizes accurate and
systematic observation and clinical examination, with in-depth
descriptions of diagnostic analgesia, radiography, ultrasonography,
nuclear scintigraphy, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography,
thermography, and surgical endoscopy. Broader in scope than any other
book of its kind, this edition includes a companion website with 47
narrated video clips demonstrating common forelimb and hindlimb lameness
as well as gait abnormalities.
New to this edition:
- Updated chapters include the most current information on topics such as MRI, foot pain, stem cell therapy, and shock wave treatment.
- Two new chapters include The Biomechanics of the Equine Limb and its Effect on Lameness and Clinical Use of Stem Cells, Marrow Components, and Other Growth Factors.
The chapter on the hock has been expanded substantially, and the
section on lameness associated with the foot has been completely
rewritten to include state-of-the-art information based on what has been
learned from MRI. Many new figures appear throughout the book.
- A companion website includes 47 narrated
video clips of gait abnormalities, including typical common syndromes as
well as rarer and atypical manifestations of lameness and neurological
dysfunction, with commentary by author/editors Mike Ross and Sue Dyson.
- References on the companion website are linked to the original abstracts on PubMed.
