PANEL DISCUSSION DESCRIPTION
In most horses, diagnosing the cause of hindlimb lameness is straightforward; lameness is abolished by diagnostic analgesia and diagnostic imaging reveals significant pathology. However, not all horses read the rule book and reaching a conclusive diagnosis in these cases can be a real challenge even to the most experienced clinician.
Topics that will be debated by an international panel of experts, consisting of lameness clinicians and radiologists, include:
- Unexpected response to diagnostic analgesia: lameness that does not improve or gets worse after diagnostic analgesia
- How to deal with the dangerous horse?
- Approach to multi-limb lameness
- The role of advanced diagnostic imaging in diagnosing challenging hindlimb lameness
- What shall we do when the diagnostic imaging results don’t match clinical findings and the results of diagnostic analgesia?
- When the cause of hindlimb lameness is not in the hindlimb
