    However, mature tendon contains cells that have a limited ability to regenerate. Following injury, tendon lays down type III collagen, or scar tissue, which is stronger than type I collagen but stiffer and less-elastic. This makes it less distensible and more likely to re-injure when the horse begins to stretch the tendon during strenuous work. [5]

  3. Navicular syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navicular_syndrome

    The prognosis for a horse with navicular syndrome is guarded. Many times the horse does not return to its former level of competition. Others are retired. Eventually all horses with the syndrome will need to lessen the strenuousness of their work, but with proper management, a horse with navicular syndrome can remain useful for some time.

  4. Lameness (equine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lameness_(equine)

    A horse with bowed tendons. Bowed tendon: tendinitis of the superficial or deep digital flexor tendons, which leads to a "bowed" appearance when the tendon is seen in profile. Considered a lameness when acute, and a blemish once healed, although the tendon is at greater risk for re-injury.

    The treatment used: horses with moderate or severe tendinitis have a better prognosis if managed conservatively (rested, brought back to work slowly), with about 50-60 percent returning to training. If they undergo surgery and are rehabilitated correctly, up to 70-80 percent return to full work.

    Prognosis can also vary depending on type and severity as well. However some signs of a positive prognosis may include, a horse being able to stay up and not lying down too much, keeping the horse quiet can also help with the healing factor, if the horse appears to be back to normal within 24 hours the prognosis outlook is better.

  7. Racehorse injuries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racehorse_injuries

    Tendon separation results in a complete loss of the tendon fibers, a marked increase in tendon cross-sectional area, and loss of support in the limb. [56] A totally ruptured superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) will cause a visible drop in the angle of the fetlock. [57] Catastrophic ruptured tendons account for as much as 3% of all tendon ...

  8. Pin firing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_firing

    Pin firing, also known as thermocautery, [1] is the treatment of an injury to a horse's leg, by burning or freezing. This is supposed to induce a counter-irritation and speed and/or improve healing. This treatment is used more often on racehorses than on other performance horses.

  9. Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_therapy

    The natural movement promoted the alignment of the new fibers and tendocytes with the natural alignment found in uninjured tendons. Stem cell treatment not only allowed more horses to return to full duty and also greatly reduced the re-injury rate over a three-year period. [23] The use of embryonic stem cells has also been applied to tendon repair.
