Long-term maintenance of arytenoid cartilage abduction and stability during exercise after laryngoplasty in 33 horses.
To (1) assess long-term maintenance of arytenoid cartilage abduction (ACA) after laryngoplasty (LP); and (2) correlate the residual grade of ACA and postoperative abductory loss with arytenoid cartilage stability (ACS) during exercise. ⋯ Limited abductory loss occurs after 6 weeks postoperatively. Resting ACA grade was not a useful predictor of ACS during exercise.
