Comparison of four techniques for synoviocentesis of the equine digital flexor tendon sheath: A cadaveric study

Abstract

In the hands of inexperienced operators, the Axial approach was the most successful technique for injection of the equine DFTS. Sparse subcutaneous leakage and larger distance to the nerve when using this technique might decrease the risk of in-advertent palmar or plantar digital nerve desensitisation when performing DFTS analgesia.
