  • Title: Management of slab fractures of the third tarsal bone in 5 horses.
    Author: Lindsay WA, McMartin RB, McClure JR.
    Journal: Equine Vet J; 1982 Jan; 14(1):55-8. PubMed ID: 7084179.
    Abstract:
    Five cases of fracture of the third tarsal bone in racehorses are reported. A method of surgical correction employing a cortical bone screw is described in 2 cases. Healing of the fractures was followed radiographically. Surgical repair permitted both horses to return to competition. The 3 cases treated conservatively suffered a prolonged healing time and excessive new bone formation. They were unable to return to training due to persistent lameness.
