Prevalence of subchondral bone pathological changes in the distal metacarpi/metatarsi of racing Thoroughbred horses

Subchondral bone pathology occurs with a high prevalence in Thoroughbred racehorses

Modified Thomas splint-cast combination for the management of limb fractures in small equids

Selected small equids with long bone fractures, and without athletic expectations, can be managed with external coaptation using an MTSCC

Concurrent or sequential tibial subchondral cystic lesions in 4 horses with medial femoral condyle subchondral cystic lesions

SCLs in the medial tibial condyle can occur in association with SCLs of the medial femoral condyle, with a poor prognosis for return to athletic function

Risk factors associated with survival to hospital discharge of 54 horses with fractures of the radius

Prognosis for survival to discharge with minimally displaced incomplete fractures is good. Open reduction and internal fixation in adult horses has a poor prognosis.

Risk factors associated with survival to hospital discharge of 54 horses with fractures of the radius

Prognosis for survival to discharge with minimally displaced incomplete fractures is good

Radiographic and computed tomographic configuration of incomplete proximal fractures of the proximal phalanx in horses not used for racing

Computed tomography examination allowed clear identification of the fracture configurations and was superior to radiography
