Suprasarcinilor

Suprasarcinilor is a term used in the field of veterinary medicine to describe a condition in which the suprascapular nerve is compressed or damaged, leading to lameness in the hindquarters of a horse. The suprascapular nerve is one of the major nerves that innervates the muscles of the shoulder and upper limb, and its compression can result in pain and weakness in the affected limb.

The most common cause of suprasarcinilor is trauma, such as a fall or a kick from another horse. Other potential causes include inflammation, infection, or tumors that compress the nerve. The condition can also be congenital, meaning it is present at birth.

The clinical signs of suprasarcinilor include lameness, reluctance to move, and pain upon palpation of the affected area. The lameness is typically worse when the horse is asked to move forward or backward, and may be relieved by resting the horse.

Diagnosis of suprasarcinilor is typically made through a combination of physical examination, imaging studies, and nerve conduction studies. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause of the condition and may include rest, medication, physical therapy, or surgery. In some cases, the nerve may be able to recover on its own with conservative management, while in other cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to relieve the compression and restore function.
