Simple Summary Despite extensive international research, musculoskeletal injuries remain
a key problem for the Thoroughbred racing industry, with multiple welfare and ethical …

Simple Summary Fractures of the third metacarpal/tarsal parasagittal groove and proximal
phalanx sagittal groove are common in racehorses. It is important to detect precursor …

Background Clodronate is a potent antiresorptive agent labelled for use in horses over 4
years of age, for the treatment of navicular syndrome. Concerns regarding the extra‐label …

Background Catastrophic injuries of the fetlock joints occur in Thoroughbred racehorses and
are preceded by stress‐induced bone injury. Early detection of subchondral bone injury is …

Bone is a nonlinear, inhomogeneous and anisotropic material. To predict the behavior of
bones expert systems are employed to reduce the computational cost and to enhance the …

Subchondral bone injuries often precede articular cartilage damage in osteoarthritis and are
common in thoroughbred racehorses due to the accumulation of fatigue damage from high …

Simple Summary Musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) continue to affect Thoroughbred racehorses
internationally, despite over thirty years of research into this problem. Studies of risk factors …

Simple Summary To achieve optimal performance and low injury occurrence in horse
racing, it is important to understand hoof–surface interactions. This study measured hoof …

Biomechanical strain is a major stimulus of subchondral bone (SCB) tissue adaptation in
joints but may also lead to initiation and propagation of microcracks, highlighting the …
