Managing the manica flexoria injuries - IVIS
Injuries to the manica flexoria (MF) are a common cause of digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS) tenosynovitis, particularly in cobs and ponies [1]. Diagnosis has been facilitated by novel ultrasonographic techniques and contrast radiography with improved sensitivity and specificity [2; 3].
Which is the best imaging modality to diagnose a manica flexoria …
Oct 18, 2024 · The manica flexoria (MF) is an extension of the medial and lateral borders of the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) that forms a sleeve around the deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT), within the digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS), just proximal to the metacarpo/metatarsophalangeal joint.
Farr & Pursey Case Study - Manica Flexoria
Jul 3, 2017 · The Manica Flexoria is an “extension / band like structure” of the Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon (SDFT) that wraps the Deep Digital Flexor Tendon (DDFT) just above the fetlock. On the basis of the acute on set and clinical findings we put local anaesthetic into the tendon sheath – this resulted in a sound horse.
Digital flexor tendon sheath – diagnostic tests and associated ...
Jun 29, 2021 · Manica flexoria tears. Manica flexoria tears are another common cause of non-septic tenosynovitis of the DFTS. These are more often found in the hindlimb and usually on the medial aspect of the attachment to the SDFT (Findley, 2012; Kent et al., 2020). Often concurrent adhesions are found between the manica flexoria and the DFTS, especially if ...
Diagnosis of digital flexor tendon sheath conditions in the horse
May 1, 2021 · The manica flexoria helps to stabilise the flexor tendons in alignment as they traverse this location. At the mid-proximal phalanx, the digital manica connects the branches of the SDFT, between the dorsal sheath wall and the DDFT (Jordana et al, 2017). Figure 1. Photograph of the gross dissection of the digital flexor tendon sheath in a horse.
Improved diagnostic criteria for digital flexor tendon sheath …
Objectives: To use a large population to evaluate 1) the sensitivity and specificity of digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS) contrast radiographs in diagnosing manica flexoria (MF) tears, deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT) tears and constriction of the palmar/plantar annular ligament (PAL) using novel criteria; 2) predisposition to pathology in ...
Deep Digital Flexor Tendon Injury at the Level of the Proximal …
The manica flexoria (MF), the ring from the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) that encircles the DDFT, is located proximal to the proximal sesamoid bones. A second ring at the level of the proximal phalanx is present and, together with MF, holds the DDFT in a proper position (9).
Ultrasonography can be used to predict the location of manica flexoria ...
Jul 21, 2022 · Manica flexoria (MF) tears are a well-recognised cause of lameness in horses presenting with effusion of the digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS). Ultrasonography (US) is a commonly used first line imaging modality during examination of horses …
Equine Digital Flexor Tendon Sheath Injuries – The Horse
Feb 19, 2020 · Other parts—mesotenons, thin stabilizers connecting the tendons to the sheath and providing nutrients and oxygen to the tendon via blood vessels, and tendinous rings called manica flexoria or ...
Tenoscopic surgical treatment of tears of the manica flexoria …
Objective: To determine typical clinical features associated with tears of the manica flexoria (MF) and prognosis for return to athletic function after surgical resection. Study design: Case series. Methods: Medical records (January 2001-December 2011) of horses that underwent tenoscopic surgical treatment of MF tears were reviewed and outcome ...
