Repair of collateral ligament instability in 2 foals by using suture anchors.

Abstract: Instability of the collateral ligaments of the carpal or metacarpophalangeal joint occurred in 2 foals. The instability was repaired using commercial suture anchors. In foals, commercial suture anchors combined with external coaptation can be used successfully to repair collateral ligament instability of the carpus or the metacarpophalangeal joint.

This research article investigates the use of commercial suture anchors for repairing collateral ligament instability in two foals, indicating that it is a successful repair method for the carpal or metacarpophalangeal joint instability in foals.

Introduction

The study delves into researching a feasible solution for instability in the collateral ligaments of the carpal or metacarpophalangeal joint in foals. This occurred in 2 specific cases. The desired treatment procedure involves the use of commercial suture anchors.

The Procedure

  • The research proposed using commercial suture anchors as a method for repairing the instability in the collateral ligaments in these two foals. Suture anchors are medical devices used to secure ligaments, tendons, or soft tissue to bone.

Findings and Conclusion

  • Following the procedure, the research found that the use of these commercial suture anchors, along with external coaptation, were effective in repairing the instability of the carpus or the metacarpophalangeal joint in the foals.
  • External coaptation refers to the use of bandages, splints, casts, or other devices externally to treat fractures or soft tissue injuries, providing support and stability for the affected area.
  • The conclusion suggests that for foals with similar collateral ligament instability, the use of commercial suture anchors in unison with external coaptation can offer a practical and successful treatment option.
