Superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) injury affects up to 30% of Thoroughbred racehorses and other high-level equine athletes and is both exercise and age related; high incidence, prolonged periods out of work, high retirement rates and animal welfare implications are continuing significant problems for equine industries [1, 2]. The SDFT is an energy-storing structure essential for efficient high-speed locomotion, with narrow mechanical safety margins. Our understanding of pathophysiology has advanced significantly, but preventative measures have not been developed. Most injuries occur during athletic activity following undefined periods of matrix microdamage accumulation that is not repaired (and possibly directly contributed to) by tendon fibroblasts and other endogenous cellular populations. Detection and/or prevention of the earliest phases of pathology are likely to have a greater effect than improvements in therapy, given that tendon is a slowly healing and poorly regenerative tissue.This workshop was held in October 2012 at the University of Glasgow, UK to bring a key group of scientists from different disciplines (including cell biology, pathology, bioengineering and physics) together with industry end-users, including veterinarians and trainers. We had a particular focus on the Thoroughbred racehorse and the cell biology of normal and injured tendons. The workshop was funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) under the International Workshops scheme.
