Studies of racehorse injury or fatality in various countries have identified common, and in
some cases conflicting, risk factors. We conducted a systematic search of the relevant …

Risk rates for and predisposing factors to fractures occurring in Thoroughbred racing that
have been published in peer reviewed journals are documented. The potential for currently …

Background Microdamage accumulation leads to subchondral bone injury and/or fracture in
racehorses. An understanding of this process is essential for developing strategies for injury …

Objective To investigate the effects of fracture characteristics and concurrent subchondral
bone pathology identified with computed tomography (CT) on the racing performance of …

Simple Summary Most catastrophic musculoskeletal injuries in Thoroughbred racehorses
involve the fetlock region. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography …

Objectives To assess 18F‐sodium fluoride (18F‐NaF) positron emission tomography (PET)
findings associated with metacarpal/metatarsal condylar fractures at the time of fracture …

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

Background Condylar fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in
Thoroughbred racehorses. Condylar fractures have a variety of fracture configurations that …

MRI and CT have enhanced our diagnostic abilities for equine lameness beyond what is
available using radiography and ultrasonography. This has allowed veterinarians to better …

OBJECTIVE To compare bony changes of the third metacarpal bone (MC3) of Thoroughbred
racehorse cadavers with (cases) or without (controls) catastrophic condylar fracture by use …
