Question 1
Which anatomical structure is primarily desensitized following a properly performed low 4-point (palmar/plantar) nerve block placed at the level of the distal aspect of the second and fourth metacarpal bones?
Correct Answer:
The fetlock joint, digit, deep and superficial flexor tendons distally, and sesamoidean ligaments
Question 2
When performing a palmar digital nerve (PDN) block to localize palmar foot pain, what is the primary risk of using an excessive volume of local anesthetic (>2 mL per site) or injecting too proximally?
Correct Answer:
Proximal diffusion desensitizing the dorsal branches of the digital nerve and the proximal interphalangeal (pastern) joint
Question 3
A 7-year-old Warmblood dressage horse presents with chronic, bilateral hindlimb lameness that worsens when trotting on soft ground with the affected limb on the outside of the circle. Deep palpation of the plantar proximal metatarsus elicits pain, and diagnostic analgesia of the deep branch of the lateral plantar nerve substantially improves the lameness. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Correct Answer:
Hindlimb proximal suspensory desmitis (PSD)
Question 4
In the ultrasonographic evaluation of an acute superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) core lesion in a racehorse, which ultrasound feature indicates the earliest phase of active matrix breakdown before fibroplasia?
Correct Answer:
A well-demarcated central anechoic to hypoechoic zone with loss of parallel fiber pattern
Question 5
During tenoscopic examination of the digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS) in a horse with chronic digital tenosynovitis and non-responsive lameness, which primary pathology is considered an anatomical structure unique to the forelimb flexor apparatus that frequently tears and requires transection?
