  • Title: Long incomplete longitudinal fractures of the third metacarpal and metatarsal bone in horses.
    Author: Barr AR, Sridhar B, Denny HR.
    Journal: Vet Rec; 1989 Jun 03; 124(22):580-2. PubMed ID: 2773194.
    Abstract:
    Five horses with long incomplete longitudinal fractures of the third metacarpal bone and three horses with similar fractures of the third metatarsal bone were examined. In three of the metacarpal fractures a long incomplete fissure extended proximomedially, in association with the more common lateral condylar fracture of the third metacarpal bone, and in the other two cases the fracture originated from the medial aspect of the distal articular surface. In the three horses with fractures of the third metatarsal bone the fractures had a consistent spiral configuration.
