Horse Suspensory Ligament Injury

Age: 9 years
Type: Showjumping, S-class
Diagnosis: Insert. Desmopatilig susp, RH, prox

Before the treatment

Veterinarian comments: Size of the lesion before stem cell injection approx 2/3 of the suspensory insertion. Notice a little periosteal reaction, arrow, and hypoechogenicity of the fibers (thin arrow). Very difficult case to treat; normally with conservative treatment, NSAID+Rest+controlled exercise. Usually, we see a poor outcome for those kinds of injuries.

After 3,5 months

Veterinarian comments: Complete healing, the pony is put back to work, trained up over 6 – 8 weeks. Now competing at the high level again.

Veterinarian comments: Size of the lesion before Medrego EquiCell injection, 2/3 of the insertional region, Very severe injury; The horse is lame grad 2,5-3, on the longe, graded on a scale from 0-5, where grad 5 is not weight bearing.
The lesion is in the bottom of the picture; The structure of the fibers is normal, more rougher woven, in a suspensory ligament, but here we see much hypoechogenicity, which shows a big lesion in the tendon; Normally the horses have a guarded prognosis, for returning to full athletic performance.

After 3,5 months

Veterinarian comments: Back to normal work, complete healing without scar tissue, hyperechogenicity.

Horse Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon Injury

Age: 17 years
Type: Showjumping
Diagnosis: Injury SDFT, prox. 1/3, LF

Before the treatment

Veterinarian comments: Size of the lesion before Medrego EquiCell injection 90-95% of SDFT; The size of this lesion is bad; It is almost impossible to do anything.
Normally this type of lesion is so severe, that the animal is euthanized, and a future career is impossible; Here we tried to do the impossible, and treat this very valuable animal. Most of the tendon is affected.

After 3,5 months

Veterinarian comments: A healing that one didn’t think about! Yes we still see a bigger circumferential diameter of the tendon, but almost normal fiber pattern and realignment of the fibers; Over time the diameter of the tendon will become smaller and smaller, but for now this is very ok: The very special thing is healing of this big a lesion, without scar tissue (seen as hyperechogenicity) in the tendon.
