===Angular limb deformity===
  −
 
  −
*Lateral deviation of distal portion of limb (valgus)
  −
*Medial deviation of distal portion of limb (varus) - more rare
  −
*Most common in foals
  −
**Carpal joint
  −
**Tarsal joint
  −
**Fetlock joint
  −
*Congenital or acquired
  −
*Due to:
  −
**Malpositioning in utero
  −
**Excessive joint laxity
  −
**[[Hypothyroidism|Hypothyroidism]]
  −
**Trauma
  −
**Overnutrition
  −
**Defective endochondral ossification
  −
**Poor conformation
  −
**Disruption of blood supply to one side of bone
  −
**Secondary to [[Bones Developmental - Pathology#Physitis|physitis in horses]]
  −
*Usually resolves spontaneously in one to two weeks of life
  −
*More severe cases exceding compensatory capabilities will persisist
  −
*[[Bone & Cartilage Development - Anatomy & Physiology|Cartilage development]] is affected

===Physitis===
  −
 
  −
*In horses
  −
*Often associated with [[Bones Developmental - Pathology#Angular limb deformity|angular limb deformity]]
  −
*Also called '''epiphysitis''' and '''physeal dysplasia'''
  −
*Problem of [[Bone & Cartilage Development - Anatomy & Physiology|endochondral ossification]]
  −
*Two age groups
  −
**Weanlings
  −
**Yearlings in early training and two-year-olds
  −
*May cause contracted tendons and flexural deformities
  −
*Factors probably involved in its development:
  −
**Genetically fast growth rate
  −
**Large quantities of imbalanced, high energy feed
  −
**Imbalanced weight-bearing on joints
  −
**Excessive activity
  −
**Growth spurts
  −
*Histologically: (appearance similar to [[Bones Developmental - Pathology#Angular limb deformity|angular limb deformity]])
  −
**Lateral aspect of radius
  −
***Thickened metaphyseal part of physeal cartilage
  −
***-> Delay or disturbance of endochondral ossification
  −
***Compression
  −
**Central part
  −
***No obvious deformity
  −
**Medial aspect
  −
***Tension
  −
***-> Transverse [[Bones Fractures - Pathology|fractures]] and repair
  −
**Laxity of periarticular attachements in young foals allows [[Bones Developmental - Pathology#Angular limb deformity|angular limb deformity]]; not occuring in older foals and young horses
  −
**(Sustained trauma produces similar lesions)
