'''A six-month old Thoroughbred foal presented with lameness of the right carpus associated with effusion of the right antebrachiocarpal joint. The dorsolateral-palmaromedial oblique radiograph of this area is illustrated.'''
<br />
<FlashCard questions="3">
|q1=What is your diagnosis?
|a1=There is subchondral lucency of the distal radius. In a horse of this age the most likely diagnosis is osteochondritis dissecans.
|l1=
|q2=How should this case be treated?
|a2=
The most appropriate treatment is arthroscopic evaluation of the joint. <br>
The diagnosis of osteochondritis dissecans, involving a large area of the medial aspect of the distal radius, was confirmed. The defect was debrided.
|l2=
|q3=What is your prognosis?
|a3= The prognosis in these cases is always guarded to poor. In a limited series of cases seen by the contributor, some degree of lameness has persisted associated with continued fragmentation of the distal radius.
