No description of injuries to the equine scutum medium exists in the veterinary literature. The purpose of this case series is to describe the clinical findings, diagnostic imaging findings, treatment and outcome of 10 horses with complex pastern injuries involving the scutum medium. Horses with scutum medium injury presented with septic synovial structures, acute lameness or chronic lameness. In all cases, scutum medium injury occurred with severe tendon, ligament or osseous injuries in the pastern region. The most common comorbidities were proximal interphalangeal joint sepsis, injuries to the straight sesamoidean ligament and/or the superficial digital flexor tendon branches. This case series also highlights that severe injuries to the scutum medium can be associated with proximal interphalangeal joint subluxation. Outcome and treatment are dependent upon concurrent injuries but proximal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis should be considered. Prognosis for return to athletic function is poor, and return to pasture soundness is guarded.

涉及十只马的盾片培养基的复杂past骨损伤

兽医文献中没有描述对马盾形皮培养基造成的伤害。本病例系列的目的是描述10例涉及盾片培养基的复杂性划伤的马的临床发现，诊断性影像学发现，治疗和结局。蒙皮受中度损伤的马表现出败血性滑膜结构，急性la行或慢性la行。在所有情况下，在ern部地区均发生了盾片中度损伤，并伴有严重的肌腱，韧带或骨性损伤。最常见的合并症是近端指间关节脓毒症，芝麻直韧带和/或浅指屈肌腱分支受伤。该病例系列还突出显示，对盾片培养基的严重伤害可能与近端指间关节半脱位有关。结果和治疗取决于同时发生的损伤，但应考虑近端指间关节关节固定术。恢复运动功能的预后很差，并且可以保证恢复牧场健康。
