🔥 Results of rehabilitation to a severe SDFT Injury to a 2 yr old Extravagant Racehorse!! 🔥 

A 2 Yr Old Gelding by ‘Extravagant’ sustained a 30% core lesion 15cm in length to the SDFT during a race on 3rd June 2022.

The Gelding arrived at Gundy Park for intensive rehabilitation 4 days post race when the first scan was taken. 

Treatment included but was not limited too:
💥Targeted cryotherapy 3 times a day 
💥Cold salt water treadmill daily

The "after" image was taken 11 weeks post injury and shows remarkable healing. 

In the first image you can clearly see a hole in the ligament as outlined, however in the second image we can see the fibre patterns filled in nicely and no longer a hole. 

There is still a lot of work to be done. The gelding will now begin a ‘loading phase’ in his rehabilitation, consisting of increased time on the water treadmill, trotting on firm surfaces and daily cryotherapy to increase the strength and stability in the ligament and to encourage the fibre to align as neatly as possible, promote continued healing and reduce inflammation that may hinder the process as we go along. 

If all goes to plan we shall see this lovely young racehorse back in full work by the end of the year! 

We are grateful for the continued support from Dr James Dawson and Dr James Adams of Hunter Equine Centre and Dr Caroline Foote of Nourish Equine Consulting.
