Equine tibial fractures are relatively infrequent in racing and non‐racing sport horses, but
limitations in successful treatment of tibial fractures in adult horses result in relatively high …

The diagnosis, treatment and outcome of 23 cases of horses with radius or tibial fissure
fractures that were referred to the Clinic of Equine Surgery, University of Zurich, are …

The shape, function and articulations of the tibia are responsible for complex biomechanics
and result in a range of fracture types. Stress fractures are encountered commonly in …

Background One of the traumatic fractures occurring in the hindlimb of the foals is physeal
fractures of the tibia. The most common type of proximal tibial fracture in foals is reported to …

The objective of this postmortem study was to determine the fracture configurations of the
equine radius and tibia after a simulated kick. Fracture configurations of 35 radii and 36 …

Objective—To determine the mechanical properties of Equine Interlocking Nail (EIN; JD
Wheat Veterinary Orthopedic Research Laboratory, University of California, Davis) stabilized …

The variety of forces that can result in failure of bone infrastructure are described. Their
effects on and response induced in bone are discussed. Monotonic and fatigue fractures are …

Objective—To determine cyclic biomechanical properties of gap osteotomized adult equine
tibiae stabilized with an equine interlocking nail (EIN). Study Design—In vitro experimental …

The tarsus is an extremely complex joint made up of multiple articulations. Common
problems in athletic horses include osteoarthritis of the distal tarsal joints, osteochondrosis …

This chapter focuses on equine lameness of the proximal limb with particular focus on: the
carpus, the antebrachium, elbow, and humerus; the shoulder and scapula; the tarsus; tibia …
