The hock is the most common site of hindlimb lameness in the adult horse but how good is your imaging of the region? Find out how to optimise imaging and treatment of this complicated structure
This webinar will go through the various radiographic views and when to use them.We will also show how to ultrasound all sides of the hock with examples of pathology. With more medical treatment options than ever we will discuss when to offer surgical treatments as well as when and what to medicate with.
Why do this course?
This webinar is aimed at vets who regularly see lame horses and want to improve their diagnostic capabilities. We will give hints and tips on how to get the most out of your x-rays of the hock and how to image structures like the collateral ligaments. We will also discuss treatment of each condition as we image them.
