Abstract:Summary
No description of injuries to the equine scutum medium exists in the veterinary literature. The purpose of this case series is to describe the clinical findings, diagnostic imaging findings, treatment and outcome of 10 horses with complex pastern injuries involving the scutum medium. Horses with scutum medium injury presented with septic synovial structures, acute lameness or chronic lameness. In all cases, scutum medium injury occurred with severe tendon, ligament or osseous injuries in the pastern re… Show more
“…The paper of Bergstrom et al . (2021) described lesions of the MS identified on high field MR system scans. The MS and associated ligaments can also be evaluated with accuracy on low field MR systems, in sedated standing horse or under general anaesthesia, the latter allowing image acquisition of higher resolution compared with standing ones.…”

“…The paper by Bergstrom et al . (2021) in this issue reports on ten horses with complex pastern injuries involving the middle scutum (MS, scutum medium ). Lesions of the MS are uncommon, and their detection may be challenging with routine imaging examination.…”
