'''The radiograph shows the left hind fetlock of a yearling Thoroughbred filly presented for left hindlimb lameness. There was no joint distension but the lameness was relieved by intra-articular analgesia of the metatarsophalangeal joint.'''
<br />
<FlashCard questions="2">
|q1=What abnormalities are demonstrated?
|a1=
#There is a narrow, short articular defect in the lateral condyle of the metatarsal bone.
#There is also a less obvious area of reduced radiopacity in the medial condyle.
#The sagittal ridge is remodelled and the proximal articular surface of the first phalanx is irregular. <br>
The diagnosis is osteoarthritis, associated with bone remodelling of the distal articular surface of the third metatarsal bone.
|l1=
|q2=What, if any, treatment would you recommend to return this animal to soundness?
|a2=
Intra-articular medication with sodium hyaluronate might be helpful, although the prognosis is poor.
