  • Title: In vitro comparison of the standard short limb cast and three configurations of short limb transfixation casts in equine forelimbs.
    Author: McClure SR, Watkins JP, Bronson DG, Ashman RB.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1994 Sep; 55(9):1331-4. PubMed ID: 7802404.
    Abstract:
    Axial stability of equine oblique proximal phalangeal osteotomies with application of the standard short limb cast or 1 of 3 configurations of transfixation casts was determined in vitro. Transfixation cast methods included use of parallel pins, divergent pins, or parallel pins incorporating a metal walking bar. Displacement at the osteotomy was recorded for each limb at 4,448 N. Standard short limb casts provided significantly (P = 0.0002) less axial stability than did any form of transfixation cast. Significant differences were not found between the 3 transfixation casts.
