Infos

The Sixth Edition of Adams and Stashak s Lameness in Horses builds on the book s reputation as the classic gold-standard reference on equine lameness. Now in full color, the text has been fully revised and streamlined to improve user-friendliness, with a new, simplified format and a stronger emphasis on the diagnosis and management of lameness. A valuable supplementary DVD provides a complete guide to diagnosing lameness, offering additional anatomical images; video clips demonstrating key procedures such as physical examination, flexion tests, perineural and intrasynovial anesthesia; and examples of lameness conditions in motion. The Sixth Edition presents new or significantly rewritten chapters on the axial skeleton, principles of musculoskeletal disease, principles of therapy for lameness, occupation-related lameness conditions, and lameness in the young horse. The diagnostic procedures chapter has also been significantly expanded to reflect advances in this important area. Adams and Stashak s Lameness in Horses, Sixth Edition is an essential addition to any equine practitioner s bookshelf.

"The comprehensiveness of this work is little short ofphenomenal. It is focused, extensively illustrated and would surelyhave no challengers to the title as the bible on equine lameness .. .

"The comprehensiveness of this work is little short ofphenomenal. It is focused, extensively illustrated and would surelyhave no challengers to the title as the bible on equine lameness."(Horsetalk, June 2011)

"This book remains a key text for equine clinicians, withparticular strengths being the descriptive anatomy, summaries ofdiagnostic imaging techniques and the clarity of the diagnostictechniques presented, both in the text and on the DVD." (EquineVeterinary Education, May 2011)

"The latest version of this classic not only has updatedcontent, but includes many colour photographs and illustrations aswell as an accompanying DVD. The latter is an excellent 'how to...'guide to equine lameness investigation, with excellent sections onperineural and intrasynovial injection techniques, which, in myopinion, is worth half the purchase price all by itself... thisbook remains an asset to all those with an interest in equinelameness."
