1
Q
what is the most common cause of chronic forelimb lameness
A
navicular disease
2
Q
what does the palmar/plantar digital nerve block (heel block) desensitize
A
- the palmar/plantar 2/3rd of the foot
- sole, navicular structures, distal interphalangeal joint, distal DDFT, distal sesamoideal ligaments
3
Q
what does the abaxial sesamoid nerve block desensitize
A
- foot, second phalanx (P2), proximal interphalangeal joint
- distopalmar/plantar aspect of P1, distal portions of SDFT, DDFT, distal sesamoidean ligaments, distal annular ligeament
4
Q
what nerve block should you do to desensitize the metacarpo/tarsophalangeal joint & the structures distal to it
A
low 4 points / low palmar nerve block
5
Q
what nerve block should you do to desensitize medial & lateral palmar and palmar metacarpal nerves (DDFT,SDFT,MC2,MC4, proximal suspensory ligament, inferior check ligament)
A
high 4 point / high palmar nerve block
6
Q
what arthrocentisis would desensitize the distal interphalangeal joint and navicular bursa
A
distal interphalangeal joint
