In this second installment of our Equine Soft Tissue Deep Dive, we spotlight another set of key studies from the January 2025 issue of Veterinary Surgery — focused on improving mechanical outcomes and minimizing complications after GI and tendon surgery.

We cover:

• Biomechanics of large colon colopexy: suture pattern vs. bite depth
• Comparative outcomes of small intestinal anastomosis with stapled techniques
• One- vs. two-layer descending colon closures: trade-offs in size and strength
• Full-thickness biopsy techniques: punch vs. wedge vs. forceps
• Intrathecal enalapril to reduce tendon sheath adhesions after injury

As always, our focus is translating the research into practical guidance you can take back to surgery or field practice.

In this Equine-Ortho Deep Dive, we explore three surgical innovations targeting the distal limb — all featured in top-tier journals and focused on practical gains in precision, stability, and recovery.

In this episode, we cover:

• Accuracy gains with a vertek aiming device (VAD) during computer-assisted surgery of the distal sesamoid bone
• A new compression aiming device for navicular bone fractures using standard radiography
• Outcomes from standing sedation surgery for hoof wall masses like keratomas — including surgical technique and long-term recovery data

If you're working on lower limb cases in horses, this update brings clarity to both novel devices and alternative techniques for safer, smarter interventions.
