Abstract
The purpose of this study is to compare clinical results in horses with a reinjury of the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDF) treated with desmotomy of the accessory ligament of SDF or with “counterirritation” through a blister ointment. Horses have been divided into two groups: Group 1-horses treated with surgery; Group 2 horses treated with the application of a blister ointment. The results have shown in Group 1 one horses had a recurrent injury to the SDF after the second competition, instead in Group 2 one horse had a recurrent injury to the SDF after the third competition, one after the first and one after the second. In the present study no statistically significant differences (P=0,058) were detected between the two groups in terms of performance and reinjury incidence for about five competitions.
