Superior check ligament desmotomy is also used in cases of superficial digital flexor tendinitis in racehorses and upper level performance horses, if the tendinitis is recurrent, diffuse, or when the core lesion is >10% of the tendon cross-sectional area. [128] It may be used in conjunction with tendon splitting and annular ligament desmotomy.
[28] [29] This inflammatory molecule, called tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), is released not only by the herniated or protruding disc, but also in cases of disc tear (annular tear), by facet joints, and in spinal stenosis. [24] [30] [31] [32] In addition to causing pain and inflammation, TNF may also contribute to disc degeneration. [33]

The underlying mechanism involves slippage of the annular ligament off of the head of the radius followed by the ligament getting stuck between the radius and humerus. [1] Diagnosis is often based on symptoms. [2] X-rays may be done to rule out other problems. [2] Prevention is by avoiding potential causes. [2] Treatment is by reduction. [2]
