CLINICAL INTEREST:
SUMMARY
Dr. Jorgensen
is a equine veterinarian that is board certified in the American College
of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM, Large Animal Medicine) with
a special interest in equine lameness and the use of diagnostic ultrasound
for limb injuries. She and Ron Genovese, VMD, have worked together
over the years to analyze different series of ultrasonographic data
in efforts to determine optimal therapeutic regimens for distal limb
connective tissue injuries.
SUPERFICIAL
DIGITAL FLEXOR TENDONITIS
Data
from Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon (SDFT) injuries from thousands
of thoroughbred and standardbred racehorses are being compiled to
compare a variety of therapeutic regimens and determine the outcome
of return to racing and racing prognosis.
INJURY
OF THE DISTAL ANTEBRACHIUM
A systematic ultrasonographic approach to evaluate carpal
sheath effusion or suspected tendon injuries in the distocaudal antebrachium
or proximal carpometacarpal regions is currently being assessed for
the general equine practitioner to use.
