Abstract

In this study, the normal and abnormal proportions of the flexor tendons of forelimbs of healty and tendinitis throughbred horses were measured ultrasonographically. Dimensions, circumferences and cross-sectional areas of the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT), deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT), check ligament (CL) and suspensory ligament (SL) were measured. The determination of the physiological boundaries of those tendons were aimed. The horse which are used in the study are 2-4 years old, in healty 19 and 6 horses with tendinitis throughbreds these measurements were applicated. Throughbred english horse area 2 for circumferences values of the MFDS were 0.869 ± 0.453 cm2, MFDD values were 1,062±0.510 cm2, IC values were 1,324 ± 0.647 cm2 and the horses with tendinitis values of the MFDS (0.625±0.181), MFDD (0.830 ± 0.285) and LA (0.687 ± 0.220) cm2 were estimated. There are no differences between two groups by statistically. Area 2 for lenght values of the MFDS were 1.615 ± 0.649 cm, MFDD values were 1.698 ± 0.600 cm, IC values were 2.078 ± 0.665 cm, the horses with tendinitis values of the MFDS (1.213 + 0.335) cm, MFDD (1.303 ± 0.160), ve LA (1.413 ±0.349) cm were evaluated. Especially, MFDD tendon and LA tendon show statistically differences between compared to normal one concern about lenght of tendon. As a conclusion, healty thoroughbred English horses and horses with tendinitis of flexor tendons of forelimbs were determined of morphometric measurements by ultrasonographically. The standard measurements were compared to tendinitis group and other breeds.

Özet

Bu çalışmada sağlıklı ve tendinitis teşhisi konulan safkan İngiliz atlarının ön ekstremitelerindeki fleksor tendoların ultrasonografik muayeneleri ile normal boyutları ve lezyonlu bölgeler tespit edildi. Musculus flexor digitalis superficialis (MFDS), musculus flexor digitalis profundus (MFDP), Liganentum accessonium (LH) musculus interosseus medius (MİM) tendolarının alan, çevre, uzunluk ve kalınlık ölçümleri yapılarak, bu tendoların fizyolojik sınırlarının belirlenmesi ve lezyonlu tendolarla kıyaslanması amaçlandı. Çalışma materyalini 2-4 yaş arasında 19 adet sağlıklı ve 6 adet tendinitis teşhisi konulan safkan İngiliz atları oluşturdu. Sağlıklı safkan İngiliz atlarında 2. bölgedeki MFDS (0.869±0.453), MFDP (1,062± 0.510) ve LA (1,324 ± 0.647) cm2 alan ortalama ölçüm değerleri. Tendinitis teşhisi konulan atlarda yapılan ölçümlerde bölgedeki MFDS (0.625 ± 0.181), MFDD (0.830±0.285) ve LA (0.687± 0.220) cm2 alan ortalama ölçüm değerleri bulunmuştur. Her iki grup arasında istatistiki farklılık gözlenmemiştir. Sağlıklı safkan İngiliz atlarında 2. bölgedeki MFDS (1.615± 0.649) cm, MFDP(1.698±0.600), ve LA (2.078 ± 0.665) cm olarak uzunluk ortalama ölçüm değerleri, tendinitis teşhisi konulan atlarda ise MFDS (1.213 ± 0.335) cm, MFDD (1.303± 0.160), ve LA (1.413± 0.349) olarak bulunmuştur. MFDP tendosu ile LA tendosunda uzunluk ölçüm değerleri karşılaştığında iki grup arasında istatistiki farklar gözlenmiştir (p<0.05). Sonuç olarak sağlıklı ve tendinitis teşhisi konulan safkan İngiliz atlarının ön bacaklarındaki fleksor tendoların ultrasonografik muayenelerle morfolojik ölçümleri yapılarak, standart ölçülerinin, tendinitis teşhisi konulan atlarda yapılan ölçüm değerleri ile karşılaştırılarak tartışılmıştır.
