Are you done with your lameness exam after the horse blocks to the foot? Do you want to learn an objective and practical way of investigating foot lameness more in depth?

The majority of equine forelimb lameness originates from the foot. The introduction of advanced imaging modalities, such as MRI, has added additional information, but also additional confusion to the diagnosis and treatment of these often very challenging cases. What do you do, if a lameness blocks to an abaxial sesamoid
nerve block and if there is no conclusive radiographic pathology? This lecture will cover the systematic approach with diagnostic analgesia and the correct choice of imaging modality for different types of foot lameness.

It is designed to give the equine practitioners who deal with lameness an increased understanding about the pathophysiology of foot lameness and the diagnostic techniques that can be used to obtain a timely and accurate diagnosis.

This webinar was part of the Nerve blocks and joint medications  series that ran in June and July 2020. The other webinars in this series are:

Nerve blocks principles and applications    
Diagnostic analgesia of the hindlimb (excluding the foot) and its interpretation  
Diagnostic analgesia of the forelimb (excluding the foot) and its interpretation
Joint medications – a practical approach   
Regenerative therapies – when, where and how
