Resorbable implants present several advantages over conventional metal implants, including a lower risk of infection, elimination of the need for implant removal, and gradual degradation during the healing process. Their application in equine patients has shown promising results in two cases involving low-stress anatomical regions such as the nasal and maxillary bones. Alternative fixation methods, such as titanium plates, provide superior mechanical stability but are associated with a higher risk of implant-related complications. In the future, 3D-printed patient-specific implants may offer a customised approach to fracture repair. The increasing accessibility of 3D printing technology presents new opportunities for preoperative planning and customised implant designs, potentially improving surgical outcomes in select cases.</p>","PeriodicalId":11786,"journal":{"name":"Equine Veterinary Education","volume":"37 8","pages":"410-415"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/eve.14143","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144537244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed proliferative intermediate-to-low signal tissue in the location of the dorsal recess of the distal interphalangeal joint, with an overlying defect in the common digital extensor tendon. Given persistent right forelimb lameness over the following 24 months, with no improvement to the medication of the distal interphalangeal joint, a palmar digital neurectomy was performed. Three months following the neurectomy, the patient presented for a grade 4/5 right forelimb lameness. There was a firm, expanding swelling around the coronary band.

Due to concerns regarding potential recurrent colic episodes and the risk of bowel entrapment, the mare was hospitalised to perform a complete clinical and diagnostic assessments, and to establish an appropriate treatment. Based on history, clinical manifestations, results of palpation and ultrasonography, it was determined that the swelling was indicative of bilateral perineal hernia. An initial attempt at surgical correction through appositional herniorrhaphy proved unsuccessful. Subsequently, a novel technique involving the transposition of the semimembranosus muscle was employed as a secondary intervention. This alternative surgical method effectively addressed the issue without any short- or long-term recurrence or complications.
