  • Title: Axial sesamoid injuries associated with lateral condylar fractures in horses.
    Author: Barclay WP, Foerner JJ, Phillips TN.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1985 Feb 01; 186(3):278-9. PubMed ID: 3972689.
    Abstract:
    Axial sesamoid injuries were found in 4 of 18 horses with lateral condylar fractures of the metacarpus or metatarsus. The injuries appeared as axial sesamoid fractures or progressive demineralization of the axial border of one of the sesamoids. None of the horses with axial sesamoid injuries returned to performance soundness. Axial sesamoid injury appeared to be an indication of severe fetlock trauma due to condylar fracture. Such injuries appeared to indicate a poor prognosis for return to performance soundness.
