  • Title: Observations on the intraarticular use of corticosteroids in the racing thoroughbred.
    Author: McKay AG, Milne FJ.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1976 Jun 01; 168(11):1039-41. PubMed ID: 931771.
    Abstract:
    A project to determine if intraarticular corticosteroid therapy was deleterious to the racing Thoroughbred was carried out in the 1971, 1972, and 1973 racing seasons. Of 22 horses available for follow-up examination, 6 had radiographic evidence of deterioration; 1 of these was destroyed because of probable corticosteroid-induced arthropathy. The remaining 16 horses did not have any evidence of deterioration. One of the 16, a stakes winner, had been given 12 injections into the left front fetlock during the 3-year period. It was concluded that if proper and careful aftercare is adhered to, intraarticular injections of corticosteroids can be carried out with relative impunity.
