  • Title: Propagation of a dorsal cortical fracture of the third metacarpal bone in two horses.
    Author: Spurlock GH.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1988 Jun 01; 192(11):1587-9. PubMed ID: 3410778.
    Abstract:
    Seemingly, propagation of a dorsal cortical fracture in the third metacarpal bone developed after continued race performance in 2 horses. Historically, both horses had intermittent lameness that had responded to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and brief rest periods. However, lameness in both horses had increased in severity. Radiography revealed a dorsal cortical fracture of the third metacarpal bone, with propagation of the fracture plane proximally. Fractures were incomplete and healed with stall rest in both horses.
