Yes I know what this is, my Kizzy tore hers on the right hind leg, a very unusual injury said my vet. She had surgery to remove it & tidy up the DDFT & also annular ligament cut. After intensive rehab she came sound & returned to eventing. However she then sustained the same injury on the left fore, had surgery again but had a longitudinal tear to the DDFT, despite our best efforts she didn't come sound & is now retired & a companion to my show jumper.
