Fig. 2.

Intra-operative and post-surgical images of Calf D from left lateral side. A) The picture of (a) superficial digital flexor tendon and (b) deep digital flexor tendon exposed intraoperatively. B) Two days post-surgery. The calf showed difficulty to walk on the foot and was applied with moulded polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes as external fixation. C) Seven days post-surgery. The calf showed no lameness with the applied PVC pipes. D) Fourteen days post-surgery. Although the calf showed mild metacarpophalangeal flexural deformities (MPFD) at the left forelimb, it showed no lameness without PVC pipe. With growth, left forelimb with mild MPFD was improved without any treatment.
