Treatment of a severe distal forelimb wound presenting with extensive laceration and distal interphalangeal joint luxation in a donkey

Abstract: SummaryThis report describes the clinical presentation, management and outcome in a donkey with severe distal limb laceration and distal interphalangeal (DIP) luxation. Soft tissue damage was extensive leaving flexor tendons and palmar conjunctive tissue and skin as the only support structures to connect the distal phalanx and hoof to the rest of the distal limb. Arteriography was performed under general anesthesia to assess vascular supply to the foot. The palmar digital artery and its major branches to the f… Show more

“…Long hooves are a frequent problem that may predispose donkeys to excessive coffin bone remodeling. Other pathologies such as white line disease, interphalangeal joint contracture and luxations, and keratomas have been also observed in this species but less frequently [147,151,152].…”
