These conditions range from manica flexoria tears and tendon tears to intrathecal infections and adhesions, each posing unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this session, we’ll explore a modern, evidence-based approach to optimising management of DFTS pathology. Topics include clinical presentation, diagnostic analgesia, advanced imaging (including ultrasound, contrast tenography, MRI, and CT tenography), and when to pursue tenoscopy. We'll also compare conservative versus surgical treatment strategies and review post-treatment rehabilitation and performance outcomes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough real-life case studies and surgical videos, delegates will gain confidence in diagnosing subtle injuries, selecting appropriate therapies, and improving prognostic conversations with clients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribe the key anatomical and functional features of the digital flexor tendon sheath and its relevance to clinical pathology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecognise common and uncommon clinical presentations of DFTS disorders and differentiate them from adjacent synovial or soft tissue pathologies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelect and interpret appropriate diagnostic modalities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulate evidence-based treatment plans tailored to the type and severity of pathology, including when to use conservative therapies vs. tenoscopic surgery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the principles of tenoscopic intervention, including surgical indications, techniques, and intraoperative decision-making.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop appropriate rehabilitation protocols and deliver realistic prognostic advice based on current outcome data.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeakers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndy Fiske-Jackson, BVSc MVetMed DipECVS FHEA MRCVS, Associate Professor in Equine Surgery - Royal Veterinary College\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented at LVS 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFriday, 21 November 2025, 15:50-16:40\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e, Equine Referral Theatre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London Vet Show 2025","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56663782195573,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0102\/9989\/9959\/files\/horse6.png?v=1770053060","url":"https:\/\/academy.vetshow.com\/fr\/products\/optimising-management-of-digital-flexor-tendon-sheath-pathology-lvs25","provider":"Vet Show Academy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
