초록

말에서 Digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS)의 감염성 건초염은 치명적인 질병이다. 본 연구에서는 관절경을 이용한 말 DFTS의 감염성 건초염 치료 결과를 보고하고자 한다. DFTS에 급성 감염성 건초염이 발생한 13마리의 더 러브렛 말에 관절경 수술을 실시하였다. 수술시간은 56-148분(평균 85.6분, 중간값 84.0분)이였다. 활액검사에서 평균 백혈구수, 평균 중성구 비율, 평균 총단백질 수치는, 각각 $42.9{\times}103cells/{\mu}l$ (range, $7.2-109.5cells/{\mu}l$), 89.5% (range, 68-97%), 4.0 g/dl (range, 2.5-5.2 g/dl)이였다. 활액의 세포배양 검사를 실시한 11두중 2두에서 세균의 증식이 관찰되었다. 모든 말들은 부작용 없이 회복되어 원래의 목적으로 사용되었다. 말 DFTS의 급성 감염성 건초염에서 관절경 수술은 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

Septic tenosynovitis of the digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS) is a potentially career-ending and life-threatening problem in horses. This study aimed to describe the outcomes of tenoscopy for the treatment of acute septic digital flexor tenosynovitis in horses. Tenoscopy was performed on 13 Thoroughbred horses with acute septic tenosynovitis of the DFTS. Surgical time was 56-148 min (mean 85.6 min, median 84.0 min). In the synovial fluid analysis, mean white blood cell count, mean neutrophil proportion, and mean total protein were $42.9{\times}10^3cells/{\mu}l$ (range, $7.2-109.5cells/{\mu}l$), 89.5% (range, 68-97%), and 4.0 g/dl (range, 2.5-5.2 g/dl), respectively. Microbial growth in the synovial fluid culture was detected in 2 of 11 horses. All horses survived and returned to their intended use without complications. The present study demonstrated that the tenoscopy is useful for treating acute septic tenosynovitis of the DFTS in horses.
