Abstract

Two cases of deep digital flexor tendon lacerations in bullocks, one partial and one complete laceration each were treated surgically and managed. Tenorraphy was performed for complete laceration followed by immobilization. Satisfactory limb movement was seen after recovery. In case of partial laceration wound was closed and movement restriction was done. Animals recovered with normal limb movement.
