Nerve Blocks

A good review article looking at evidence of what structures palmar digital blocks affect. Often times coffin joint and the full solar surface was blocked, and in some cases structures as high as the fetlock were affected. Nerve blocks are still a valuable , but imperfect, tool for localizing lameness, and need to be taken with a grain of salt.
