Lameness is the most common cause of wastage in athletic horses and an accurate diagnosis is the mainstay of optimal treatment and management of these cases. Basic principals of limited evaluation remain to first localise the site of pain, then to image this area and thirdly, to hopefully achieve a diagnosis.
The epidemiology of different conditions in the authors’ primarily sport horse population will be presented. A number of video examples of clinical cases will be used to demonstrate different patterns of lameness and poor performance. There are three basic approaches to the lameness diagnosis. The traditional approach is the systematic approach: with local diagnostic analgesia commencing distally and working proximally. A more targeted approach can be utilised in those cases with localising clinical signs or in types of horses with reproducible, common types of athletic injury. In complex cases and those in multiple-limb lameness, a more survey approach can be used with screening diagnostic imaging before local analgesia is used to ascertain the significance of any potential sights of pathology.
