Anyone got experience of front fetlock arthoscopy?

[Cazza263]

As above really - vets proposing to use this to speed healing of injury to lateral branch of the suspensory as pony has very small tear where it joins sesamoid bone. Wondered if anyone had any experience of this as a treatment for similar injury and, if so, what was outcome please?
Thanks v much (also in CR)

My 18 year old mare had an arthroscopy to remove 6 chips of bone from her hind fetlock. She was fine and is still being ridden regularly with lovely floaty paces at age 28. The trick I think is in being very careful with the box rest afterwards - mine was in for 3 months.
