Equine non-septic tenosynovitis: A systematic literature review of site-specific pathological lesions, outcomes and surgical complications.

Non-septic tenosynovitis is commonly reported in equine athletes, with intra-thecal tears of the deep digital flexor tendon, superficial digital flexor tendon and manica flexoria frequently reported. Directions for future research include more thorough assessment of and reporting of complications following non-septic tenosynovitis and correlation of characteristics of intrathecal pathological lesions with clinical outcomes.
