This question was provided by Manson Publishing as part of the OVAL Project. See more Equine Orthopaedic and Rheumatological questions |
| Question | Answer | Article | |
| What is your diagnosis? | A fracture of the distal part of one of the splint bones.
|
[[|Link to Article]] | |
| Assuming that the injury is not associated with external trauma, how is it likely to have occurred? | These fractures are thought to occur as a result of stresses placed on the splint bone by the adjacent suspensory ligament. |
[[|Link to Article]] | |
| What associated structure may have been injured? | The adjacent suspensory ligament branch may have been sprained or even ruptured.
|
[[|Link to Article]] | |
| If the horse has both problems, which is most likely to cause persistent lameness? | The splint bone fracture is unlikely to heal by bony union, but the fibrous union formed does not usually cause any problems. However an associated sprain of a branch of the suspensory ligament may well continue to cause lameness. |
