Plain-English summary
A horse that had been limping for seven weeks was diagnosed with two conditions: bicipital tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon in the shoulder) and humeral osteitis (inflammation of the upper arm bone). The veterinarians used ultrasound and X-rays to identify these issues. After performing surgery to take a closer look, they confirmed the diagnoses.
Abstract
Ultrasonography and radiography were used to diagnose bicipital tenosynovitis and humeral osteitis in a horse with a history of lameness of 7 weeks' duration. Surgical exploration confirmed the diagnosis.
