Unravel the distal extent of the suspensory apparatus – the distal sesamoidean ligaments

This webinar will discuss tips and tricks to accurately diagnosing injuries to the distal sesamoidean ligaments. We will then discuss the different treatment options and their associated prognosis. This webinar will hopefully provide you with more confidence to detect these unusual injuries given that they are a much less common cause of lameness in comparison to the other aspects of the suspensory apparatus in the horse.
