<FlashCard questions="4">
|q1=What is your diagnosis?
|a1=A fracture of the distal part of one of the splint bones.
|l1=
|q2=Assuming that the injury is not associated with external trauma, how is it likely to have occurred?
|a2=
These fractures are thought to occur as a result of stresses placed on the splint bone by the adjacent suspensory ligament. <br><br>
It has been suggested that, during hard exercise, the suspensory ligament snaps back against the relatively fixed small metacarpal or metatarsal bones, causing the distal part of the bone to fracture.
|l2=
|q3=What associated structure may have been injured?
|a3= The adjacent suspensory ligament branch may have been sprained or even ruptured.
|l3=
|q4= If the horse has both problems, which is most likely to cause persistent lameness?
|a4= The splint bone fracture is unlikely to heal by bony union, but the fibrous union formed does not usually cause any problems. <br><br>
However an associated sprain of a branch of the suspensory ligament may well continue to cause lameness.
|l4=
