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 …

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic capabilities of a novel helical fan beam CT system
used for imaging of horses with a range of clinical distal limb problems. ANIMALS 167 …

Simple Summary Sagittal groove disease (SGD) of the equine proximal phalanx is
considered to be a chronic bone stress injury and reported to have variable evolution. The …

Background Dorsoproximal osteochondral defects commonly affect the proximal phalanx,
but information about diagnosis on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance …

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 …

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 …

Heterotopic mineralization in equine distal limbs has been considered an incidental finding
and little is known about its imaging features. The study aimed to identify heterotopic …

Simple Summary Nuclear medicine imaging techniques consist of acquiring images after
intravenous administration of a small dose of radioactive molecules. Different nuclear …

Background Injuries of the sagittal groove of the proximal phalanx (P1) in equine athletes
are considered to predominantly occur due to chronic bone stress overload. Objectives To …
