Sumario:Palmar/plantar annular desmotomy (PAD) is a surgical procedure to mitigate pain, lameness, and other clinical manifestations of annular ligament syndrome. This study aimed to describe a minimally invasive technique for PAD and evaluate potential damage to adjacent structures in 15 cadaveric limbs from sound horses (forelimb = 6 and hindlimb = 9). A 6 USP polyglycolic acid thread was positioned around the palmar/plantar annular ligament (PAL) on both sides of the limbs through two incisions (proximal and distal to PAL) through the digital sheath and subcutaneous tissue. Kelly forceps, Gerlach or Obwegeser needles were used to thread placement. A back-and-forth motion allowed the thread to cut the ligament until it exited through the proximal skin incision, and the time was registered. The degree of PAL section and tissue injuries were evaluated. The section of the ligament was complete in all limbs. However, 30% (10/30) of the procedures produced iatrogenic injuries on adjacent structures regardless of the instrument used (p > 0.1). There was a higher frequency of lesions in the neurovascular bundle (NVB) on the medial side regardless of the limb (p = 0.068). The odds of injury in the NVB were correlated to side (lateral or medial (p = 0.042) and limb (hind or forelimb) (p = 0.065) by logistic regression. The Gerlach needle had a shorter execution time than the Kelly forceps (p = 0.003). The percutaneous approach to PAD in specimens was practical, quick, and easy to perform. However, this posed a potential chance of iatrogenic trauma to the surrounding tissue. Although they are all reasonable options, the Obwegeser needle was more efficient for applying the thread than the others.
