medial suspensory branch strain. Any experiences??

Surely the chance of reocurrance is dependant on location (i.e. which leg, inside/outside), how soon it is picked up, the treatment, the severity of injury and also if it is acute or chronic? When giving me a prognosis, my vet said he had seen horses with worse injuries make a full recovery and return to work, and horses with lesser injuries have to be retired.

Maybe he was just talking about in my horses case then but he has said that his suspensory branches have a 40% chance of reoccurrence. They were all caught soon, all very slight sprains, on different legs two lateral and one medial over a period of about five or six years. THe horse has always been shod every five weeks on the dot, by a highly rated farrier, xrays of the horses feet sometime ago now showed excellent foot balance.
