چکیده
Proper case selection, rigid stabilization, and efforts to prevent or treat infection will improve the success rate of metacarpal and metatarsal bone fractures in the horse. Metacarpal and metatarsal fractures in horses need not be associated with a poor prognosis.

Surgical management of complete diaphyseal third metacarpal and metatarsal bone fractures: clinical outcome in 10 mature horses and 11 foals.
REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Osteosynthesis of third metacarpal (McIII) and third metatarsal (MtIII) bone fractures in horses is a surgical challenge and complications surrounding the repair are common. Retrospective studies evaluating surgical repair, complications and outcome are necessary to increase knowledge and improve success of long bone fracture repair in the horse. OBJECTIVES To eva...
متن کاملResults of Plate Fixation of Third Metacarpal and Metatarsal Diaphyseal Fractures
Diaphyseal fractures of the third metacarpal (MCIII) or metatarsal (MTIII) bones are not common in horses, although they are seen regularly in equine athletes. These fractures are as many as one third of all long-bone fractures in the horse. Treatment options for MCIII/MTIII fractures include internal fixation, external coaptation, and a combination of the two. The most stable treatment method ...
متن کاملMetacarpal and metatarsal fractures in dogs.
Metacarpal fractures were more common than metatarsal fractures in this retrospective study of 37 dogs. Fractures of one metacarpal or metatarsal bone occurred in 24 per cent of the dogs, two metacarpal bones in 16 per cent, three metacarpal or metatarsal bones in 19 per cent, and four metacarpal or metatarsal bones in 41 per cent. Eighty-seven per cent of the dogs with fractures of four bones ...

OBJECTIVES To describe the radiographic appearance of the dorsoproximal aspect of the sagittal ridge of the third metacarpal/metatarsal bone in Warmblood horses. METHODS The lateromedial radiographic projections of the metacarpo-/metatarsophalangeal joints performed on horses as a part of stallion selection were used. The dorsal aspect of the distal third metacarpal/metatarsal bone was divide...
