My horse has sustained an injury to the medial collateral ligament in his left fore foot After rest and remedial shoeing what are the chances of a complete recovery. DIP collateral ligament injury

type of lameness displayed can vary depending on the nature of the condition. It may be a severe sudden onset of unsoundness or a subtle poor performance or, resistance to certain movements. Collateral ligament injuries are usually diagnosed initially by By Paula performing nerve blocks which localise the lameness to the foot. Broadhurst Sometimes in chronic injuries radiography may show some bone changes associated with the ligament insertion points, but other times ollateral ligaments are a band no radiographic changes are visible. Ultrasonography can be used to of fibrous tissue positioned assess part of the ligament however the lower portion of the structure C on either side of the joint, is not able to be visualised properly as it extends behind the hoof connecting the bones to help maintain wall. The best way to fully assess the nature and extent of a collateral the stability of the structure. The joint ligament injury is through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). within the hoof is referred to as the Often with traumatic collateral ligament injuries the MRI scan distal interphalangeal (DIP) or coffin identifies damage to additional structures within the hoof such as joint.

Logically, the area is affected and by the degree of fibre loss that has occurred. In addition, the prognosis for return to the horse’s previous level of performance depends on what that level was. Obviously, an advanced eventer is going to put more pressure on re injuring the ligament than a horse aimed a much lower level of competition. In the veterinary literature it is generally reported that between 30 to 65 per cent of horses with primary collateral ligament injuries return to their previous level of performance. However, without knowing the details and extent of your horse’s injury, any other concurrent problems identified on MRI scan, and what level of work you intend for them to return too, I cannot really give you a guide to prognosis. Therefore you would be best advised to discuss this with your own vet who knows the details of your case. NM
