Osteochondrosis in the horse. I. A clinical and radiologic investigation of osteochondritis dissecans of the knee and hock joint. The clinical and radiologic features of osteochondritis dissecans in the knee and hock joint of horses are described. The material includes 91 horses, of which 43 had the lesion in one or both knee joints, and 48 in one or both hock joints. It was found that osteochondritis dissecans of the knee joint was more common than the one in the hock joint in thoroughbreds and halfbreds, while the lesion in the hock joint was most common in standardbred trotters. In the knee the lesion was most often located to the lateral trochlear ridge. In the hock joint the predilection site was the intermediate ri...
Osteochondrosis in the horse. II. Pathology. An investigation was made of the pathology of osteochondritis dissecans of young foals and horses with clinical signs of the lesion. A randomly selected material of fetuses and young foals without clinical signs was also examined. It was demonstrated that osteochondritis dissecans is primarily a cartilaginous disease, as previously described in pigs and dogs. Thickening, disturbance of endochondral ossification, degeneration and necrosis of the cartilage were the four main features of osteochondritis dissecans. Cracks and fissures occurred in the degenerated and necrotic parts of the cartilage...
Thermography of the superficial flexor tendon in race horses. Thermography is the pictorial representation of infra-red (IR) emission from the surface of an object. IR emission from biological surfaces originates from two principal sources, circulation and metabolism, which are interdepen-dent. Changes in IR emission as recorded by thermography were correlated to changes in local blood circulation (BrAnemark & Nilsson 1969) and to changes in '33Xe disappearance rate (Stromberg & Norberg 1971). In 1969 Stromberg & Tufvesson, using microradiography, demonstrated that there were vascular changes in the superficial flexor tendon (SFT) even before clinical si...
Radiography of the tuber calcis and its use in thoroughbred training. The research article discusses a study on the correlation between delaying the training of thoroughbred horses until the epiphyseal closure of the tuber calcis (heel bone) is complete and the […]
