Generally 6 mos. to a year of turnout heals them nicely. Of course, their training upon return must be slow and steady. Unfortunately, like many other injuries, this kind of injury frequently leads to the same condition in other limbs due to the stress caused by the original injury.

Generally in this area we see shock wave therapy and stall rest followed by private turn out. Most cases I have seen it is usally at least a year before horse is under saddle again.

Both have worked very well to heal suspensory injuries. I also know people who have done hand walking and rest also, which works if you stick with it and don't ride too soon. <BR/><BR/>Growth factors are proteins that are produced by tissues to help other tissues to grow, repair, or change in some way.
