The race-horses are prone to injuring their leg tendons, especially the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT). The SDFT injuries have a significant impact on the performance horse industry, accounting for an estimated 8–12% of all racing injuries. Historical data indicate that with traditional modes of therapy, there is approximately 40–50% chance the horse will return to athletic activity after significant SDFT injury. This represents a significant economic loss to racehorse owners and industry.
