To identify the structures involved and manage the wound effectively
What can a chronic wound be associated with near the horse's carpus?
Joint
We need to consider the soft and hard tissues ______
involved
It is important that we don't just assume the lame horse has a ______
fracture
Even a sub-solar abscess can present as non-weight-bearing ______
lamenesses
Once we evaluated the wound carefully we need to understand the ______
anatomy
○ The location of the wound is key to determining how the wound is going to heal - and also those underlying structures that may implicate severe injury • The healing rate of the wound is going to be determined by the ______.
location
○ If an animal has very acute and high levels of blood loss - the hypertension may be ______.
contraindicated
• We can also consider regional anaesthesia - we could provide a local anaesthetic to provide complete anaesthesia of this region in order to allow us to ______ it closer.
examine
Anatomy is vital: • Here we have two wounds - • Obviously the wound A looks extremely severe, as long as it hasn't damaged the brachial plexus or ______ the thoracic cavity- that wound ( although it is large) is most likely recoverable
penetrated
Synovial Fluid samples: ○ We know that we can look at things like cellularity, total solids, inflammation or infection to determine if there is a high level of infection or abrasion and that ______.
joint
If we cannot get synovial fluid: ○ Image A: § Here we are injecting sterile solution into the Bursa, this could be a contrast medium or it could just be a sterile fluid - to see if that communicates with the ______ indicates that bacteria is present within the synovial cavity.
joint
