Displaced sesamoid
Posted: Thu Sep 12, 2013 8:01 pm
Hi,
I was told my 3 yr old filly has a displaced sesamoid and will need time off. This is not an injury with which I am familiar. Can anyone help me understand it better, or let me know if you have had experience with a horse with a similar injury.
I have not yet spoken personally to the vet, but was told it is a rear leg and she will need about 5 months off of training. I will obviously be getting more information as soon as I can speak to the vet that saw her.
Thanks for any help you can give!
