HISTOLOGIC APPEARANCE OF AXIAL OSTEOCHONDRAL FRAGMENTS FROM THE PROXIMOPLANTAR PROXIMOPALMAR ASPECT OF THE PROXIMAL PHALANX IN HORSES

摘要

Osteochondral fragments from the axial proximoplantar/proximopalmar region of the proximal phalanx were removed from 38 joints in 30 horses. Ninety-three percent of the horses were Standardbreds, and 28 of the 30 had a low-grade lameness. All but 1 of the horses had hind limb involvement.
