This App is intended for Veterinary Professionals, including veterinarians, veterinary students and veterinary technicians. Equine Joints describes the approach by both synoviocentesis and arthroscopy to clinically important joints/sheaths/bursae in the horse. •Extensive notes including multiple alternate approaches for each structure. •Photographs and line drawings of relevant anatomy. •Information on safety, technique and skin preparation. •Easy to access equipment lists including information on needle choice and quantity of local anaesthetic to use for regional analgesia. •Quick reference for arthroscopic positioning and approaches. A unique resource for students, practitioners and specialists alike. The App comprehensively covers the approaches to clinically important synovial structures including joints, tendon sheaths and bursae in the horse. Standard and alternative approaches for synoviocentesis are covered. For surgeons, nurses, interns and students a handy quick reference to the approach and positioning for endoscopy or arthroscopy of each synovial structure is also given. Clinical notes on anatomy, technique and possible complications are given for each structure accompanied by extensive line drawings and photographs. This is an essential resource for practitioners, students, residents and specialists alike. The British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) also offer this App free to their members as part of their membership benefits package.

Disappointed!

This app lacks some of the most important information a practitioner needs to make joint injection more simplified and less traumatic. For seasoned practitioners some injections are so straightforward or commonly used that information may seem redundant. However, having a concise source to describe the many joints available for injection and their appropriate technique is vital for review for any practitioner that only occasionally needs to inject a less common site, or, especially to aid new grads or less experienced practitioners to get the right guidance for proper technique. I was hoping this app would meet those stated goals.Instead, many anatomical descriptions lack enough detail or direction to visualize correct needle placement. Compounding that major flaw, the line drawn pictures do not show needle placement or even fingertips at palpable landmarks. To add even more frustration, the included photos also are lacking needle placement or fingertips at palpable landmarks as well and instead only show a simple paper dot at approximate injection locations. It would be ideal to include such pictures as spatial relationships are vital in proper technique. Several joints, like the distal inter-tarsal joint, have a very vague description of landmarks and then entirely lack an adequate drawing or lack a photo altogether. I'd save my hard earned money and wait for the classic Moyer pamphlet on Equine Joint Injection to be released in its newer edition hopefully later this year.
