TRAUMATIC TENDONITIS MAYCEE RIDER TARLETON STATE UNIVERSITY RADIOLOGY POWER POINT

“MALIBU” 3 YEAR OLD THOROUGHBRED MARE ACUTE LAMENESS PRESENT AT A WORK OUT DURING TRAINING AFTER EXAMINATION, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE HORSE HAD A LARGE TENDON BOW IN THE RIGHT FRONT LIMB

CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS OF TENDONITIS CAUSES CAUSED BY REPETITIVE STRAIN ON A TENDON THIS TYPICALLY OCCURS WITH HIGH SPEEDS PROPER TRAINING IS IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS THE HORSE WILL BECOME LAME ON AFFECTED FOOT HEAT, SWELLING, OR PAIN “BOWED” TENDON LOOK

AFTER FIRST EXAMINATION MALIBU WAS RELEASED WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO LIMIT HER ACTIVITY TO ONLY STALL REST AND CONTINUE TO TAKE THE NSAIDS AND GET REEVALUATED IN 30 DAYS AT THE SECOND PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, MALIBU PRESENTED SWELLING OF THE MID CANNON FLEXOR REGION ULTRASOUND REVEALED NO CHANGES STEM CELL RECOVERY WAS PERFORMED

STEM CELL RECOVERY 3 TYPES OF CELLS THAT HAVE POTENTIAL TO STRENGTHEN A TENDON BONE-MARROW DERIVED MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS ADIPOSE-DERIVED STEM CELLS UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD-DERIVED STEM CELLS

MESENCHYMAL STEM CELL THERAPY MOST FREQUENTLY USED ON TENDON INJURIES SECRETE BIOACTIVE MOLECULES DERIVED FROM FAT OR CULTURED BONE MARROW ASPIRATES FAT-DERIVED STEM CELLS ARE A LOWER COST AND ARE QUICKER IN PREPARATION

POST STEM CELL THERAPY AN ULTRASOUND EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED AND SHOWED THAT THE ORIGINAL INJURY HAD DECREASED IN SWELLING DURING THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, MALIBU CONTINUED REHABILITATION ULTRASOUNDS WERE PERFORMED EVERY THIRTY DAYS A YEAR LATER AN ULTRASOUND WAS PERFORMED, AND THE LESION WAS GONE, AND THIS TISSUE APPEARED NORMAL AS WELL AS THE TENDON APPEARED NORMAL

TREATMENT OF TENDONITIS DEPENDS ON LOCATION AND SEVERITY NSAID’S, ICING, STALL REST, COLD HOUSING, AND REHABILITATION THERAPY OTHER OPTIONS INCLUDE STEM CELL THERAPY, SHOCKWAVE THERAPY, AND PLATELET RICH PLASMA

MALIBU’S LIFE AFTER THE INJURY AFTER 15 MONTHS OF REHAB FROM STEM CELL THERAPY, MALIBU RETURNED TO TRAINING AFTER ABOUT A YEAR POST REHAB, MALIBU RECORDED HER FIRST EVER RACE MALIBU WAS THEN SOLD A FEW MONTHS LATER
