摘要
Two adult horses were evaluated for chronic hind limb lameness. Nonseptic calcanean bursitis with associated focal osteolytic lesions at the point of insertion of the gastrocnemius tendon was diagnosed in each horse by physical and lameness examinations, radiography, ultrasonography, and synovial fluid analysis. Both horses underwent arthroscopic exploration and lavage of the affected bursa, and one horse also underwent surgical debridement of the osseous lesion. Both horses remained lame for 13 months after the surgical procedures. To our knowledge, osseous lesions of the calcaneus in horses with nonseptic calcanean bursitis have not been reported. The flexed proximoplantar-to-distoplantar tangential radiographic view of the calcaneus was essential in localizing the lesions, as was the sonogram in one horse. Arthroscopy provided a thorough evaluation of the bursa and associated tendons. On the basis of the outcome of these 2 horses, the prognosis for complete recovery for horses with this condition appears to be unfavorable. Surgical debridement of the osseous lesion was of no benefit and may have been detrimental.
