Advances in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Equine Tendon and Ligament Injuries, An Issue of Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice (Volume 41-2) delivers an in-depth review of the structure, function, diagnosis, and management of tendon and ligament injuries in horses. Edited by Sushmitha Durgam, this volume explores the functional anatomy of equine tendons and ligaments, the latest imaging modalities such as MRI and quantitative diagnostics, and cutting-edge biologic, medical, and surgical therapies. Topics include superficial and deep digital flexor tendon injuries, suspensory ligament disorders, rehabilitation strategies, regenerative medicine applications, and therapeutic farriery. This issue serves as an essential guide for equine practitioners and researchers seeking to enhance clinical outcomes and promote long-term functional healing in equine athletes.
