Knowledge of common soft tissue lesions in sport horses in training should prove beneficial for evaluating lameness and developing training and management regimens to avoid injury and aid rehabilitation. Medical records were reviewed from 2007 to 2016 to describe tendon/ligament lesions in lame sport horses training and competing at the same venues during the winter show circuit and identified by lameness and ultrasonographic examinations. Season, discipline, breed, age, gender, limb and ultrasound findings were recorded. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the population of horses. Significance of association of gender, discipline and limb with lesion type was evaluated using chi‐squared analyses. Values were considered significant at P ≤ 0.05. Lesions were identified in 296 horses: 176 dressage and 120 hunter/jumpers. Ninety‐two horses (31%) had multiple lesions. Suspensory ligament lesion locations (n = 281) were categorised as proximal (n = 144), body (n = 22) and branches (n = 115). Superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT; n = 37), deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT; n = 27), inferior check ligament (ICL; n = 34), digital flexor tendon sheath (n = 17), distal sesamoidean ligament (n = 10), lower limb collateral ligament (n = 14), carpal sheath (n = 2), superior check ligament (n = 2) and tarsal sheath (n = 1) lesions were noted. Remaining lesions identified were medial branch SDFT (n = 2), lateral branch SDFT (n = 2), palmar annular ligament (n = 3), lateral plantar ligament (n = 2) and inter‐sesamoidean ligament (n = 1). Rear limb proximal suspensory abnormalities, specifically the right hindlimb (n = 68), were significantly over‐represented (P = 0.03). Suspensory origin, suspensory branch, ICL, SDFT and DDFT accounted for 82% of the abnormal findings identified. SDFT, DDFT and ICL lesions were most often identified in the front limb. The lesion type and location may provide insight in assessing training regimens, patient monitoring and rehabilitation guidelines.

2007年至2016年冬季在南佛罗里达州比赛或训练的me脚运动马的腱和韧带的超声检查结果

训练中运动马常见的软组织病变知识应被证明有助于评估la行状况，并制定训练和管理方案以避免受伤和帮助康复。从2007年至2016年对病历进行了回顾，以描述在冬季表演巡回赛期间在同一场比赛中进行训练和比赛的la行运动马的肌腱/韧带损伤，并通过la行和超声检查加以识别。记录季节，纪律，品种，年龄，性别，肢体和超声检查结果。描述性统计数据用于描述马匹的数量。使用卡方分析评估了性别，纪律和肢体与病变类型之间的关联性。在P≤0.05时，该值被认为是显着的。在296匹马中发现了病灶：176个盛装舞步和120个猎人/跳跃者。九十二匹马（占31％）有多个病变。悬韧带病变位置（n = 281）分为近端（n = 144），身体（n = 22）和分支（n = 115）。浅指屈肌腱（SDFT; n = 37），深指屈肌腱（DDFT; n = 27），下检查韧带（ICL; n = 34），指屈肌腱鞘（n = 17），芝麻结节远端韧带（n = 10），下肢副韧带（n = 14），腕鞘（n = 2），上肢检查韧带（n = 2）和睑板鞘（n = 1）病变。剩下的病灶为内侧分支SDFT（n = 2），外侧分支SDFT（n = 2），掌掌环形韧带（n = 3），足底外侧韧带（n = 2）和芝麻骨间韧带（n = 1）。后肢近端悬吊异常，特别是右后肢（n = 68），明显超标（P = 0.03）。悬液来源，悬液分支，ICL，SDFT和DDFT占发现的异常发现的82％。SDFT，DDFT和ICL病变最常见于前肢。病变的类型和位置可能有助于评估培训方案，患者监测和康复指南。
