  • Title: Repair of a delayed-union stress fracture of the dorsal cortex of a metacarpal bone in a horse.
    Author: Collier MA, Rendano VT, Kallfelz FA.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1985 Nov 15; 187(10):1040-3. PubMed ID: 3877713.
    Abstract:
    A delayed union metacarpal stress fracture was repaired in a horse, using lag-screw fixation in conjunction with dc electrical stimulation. Twelve weeks after surgery, radiographic and scintigraphic evaluations revealed that the fracture line was not discernible and that there was a decrease in radiopharmaceutic uptake, as compared with that in previous bone imaging studies. In this horse, DC stimulation of a delayed union stress fracture in a bone resulted in a healing pattern similar to that in human beings with delayed union fractures when treated with electrical stimulation.
