My horse has just been diagnosed with luxation of the pastern joint. However no therapy other than 4 months rest/gradual return to work has been diagnosed. Any other suggestions??? |

We do not know how this happened. She became very slightly lame on her right front and was diagnosed by nerve blocks and radiographs. I think it is a forward luxation of the proximal pastern. Does this info. help? |

Hello Corinne,
Yes I think so. Because this joint is supported by so many structures there are a number of conditions that can cause luxation of the proximal pastern joint. For a list and how to differentiate them and treatment options see Diseases >> Lameness >> Lower Limb >> Diseases of the Pastern.
