Angular limb deformities (ALDs) and flexural deformities (FD) in foals

Dr. Jessica Kidd BA DVM CertES(Orth) Dipl ECVS MRCVS presents a webinar on foal limb deformities. She covers types of deformity, examination of the foal, grading scales, imaging, treatment options, sleeve casts and when to consider surgery.
Information is included on specific conditions such as incomplete ossification of the cuboidal bones, angular limb deformities of the fetlock and hock, digital hyperextension deformities (flexor tendon laxity), non-surgical management of fetlock flexural deformities, non-surgical and surgical management of deformities in the carpal region, acquired flexural deformities, treatment and surgical options for problems in the distal interphalangeal, metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal regions.
Dr. Kidd has very kindly given us her time for free for this but has asked viewers to make a donation to Vets with Horsepower or the NHS if they are able to. Please visit the NHS donation sites or Vets with Horsepower website and consider making a donation. www.vetswithho...

If a foal was born 1 month premature, and is now 2 months since born, and has contracted tendons in the fetlocks, would we consider this foal as a 2 month old foal thereby needing surgery now, or do we have a month to work with the foal before surgery needs to be done … In Other words is the foal considered 2 months old if he was 1 month premature?
