Abstract: Summary Foot pain is the most common cause of lameness in horses. In sport horses, podotrochlear syndrome ('navicular syndrome') is reported to be the most frequent condition affecting the front foot. Ultrasonography has the potential to detect damage to the soft tissues as well as the bone surfaces; in some clinics it has become the technique of choice for the identification and documentation of many podotrochlear injuries. The purpose of this paper is to review the main pathological conditions of the proximal part of the podotrochlear apparatus (PTA) that can be diagnosed ultrasonographically, focusing on the deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT), podotrochlear bursa (PTB) and distal digital annular ligament (DDAL). Potentially significant ultrasonographic findings of the DDFT include thickening of one or both lobes, longitudinal tears, focal or diffuse changes in echogenicity, irregularities of the dorsal border and adhesions between the DDFT and the proximal sesamoidean ligament and/or distal sesamoid bone. Deep digital flexor tendon injuries are often associated with concurrent lesions of the PTB (acute to chronic bursitis) and of the DDAL (desmopathy). Both feet should be routinely examined as lesions of the PTA are often bilateral. We currently consider that ultrasonography should be routinely employed as the primary diagnostic procedure to complement radiography of the equine foot. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
