central Tarsal Bone fractures in horses not used for racing computed tomographic configuration and long term outcome of lag screw fixation
Equine Veterinary Journal, 2016Co-Authors: S Gunst, F Del Chicca, Anton Furst, Jan M KuemmerleAbstract:REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY: There are no reports on the configuration of equine central Tarsal Bone fractures based on cross-sectional imaging and clinical and radiographic long-term outcome after internal fixation. OBJECTIVES: To report clinical, radiographic and computed tomographic findings of equine central Tarsal Bone fractures and to evaluate the long-term outcome of internal fixation. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case series. METHODS: All horses diagnosed with a central Tarsal Bone fracture at our institution in 2009-2013 were included. Computed tomography and internal fixation using lag screw technique was performed in all patients. Medical records and diagnostic images were reviewed retrospectively. A clinical and radiographic follow-up examination was performed at least 1 year post operatively. RESULTS: A central Tarsal Bone fracture was diagnosed in 6 horses. Five were Warmbloods used for showjumping and one was a Quarter Horse used for reining. All horses had sagittal slab fractures that began dorsally, ran in a plantar or plantaromedial direction and exited the plantar cortex at the plantar or plantaromedial indentation of the central Tarsal Bone. Marked sclerosis of the central Tarsal Bone was diagnosed in all patients. At long-term follow-up, 5/6 horses were sound and used as intended although mild osteophyte formation at the distal interTarsal joint was commonly observed. CONCLUSIONS: Central Tarsal Bone fractures in nonracehorses had a distinct configuration but radiographically subtle additional fracture lines can occur. A chronic stress related aetiology seems likely. Internal fixation of these fractures based on an accurate diagnosis of the individual fracture configuration resulted in a very good prognosis.

slab fractures of the third Tarsal Bone minimally invasive repair using a single 3 5 mm cortex screw placed in lag fashion in 17 thoroughbred racehorses
Equine Veterinary Journal, 2017Co-Authors: W H J Barker, I M WrightAbstract:Reasons for performing the study A technique for minimally invasive repair of slab fractures of the third Tarsal Bone has not previously been reported. Results of third Tarsal Bone slab fracture repair in Thoroughbred racehorses are lacking. Objectives To report the outcomes of repair of uniplanar frontal slab factures of the third Tarsal Bone using a single 3.5 mm cortex screw in lag fashion. Study design Retrospective case series. Methods Case records of horses that had undergone this procedure were reviewed. Results Seventeen horses underwent surgery. Eighteen percent of cases had wedge shaped third Tarsal Bones. A point midway between the long and lateral digital extensor tendons and centrodistal and tarsometaTarsal joints created a suitable entry site for implants. The fracture location, configuration and curvature of the third Tarsal Bone and associated joints requires a dorsolateral proximal-plantaromedial distal trajectory for the screw, which was determined by preplaced needles. There were no complications and fractures healed in all cases at 4-6 months post surgery. Seventy-nine percent of horses returned to racing and, at the time of reporting, 3 are in post operative rehabilitation programmes. Conclusion The technique reported provides a safe, appropriate and repeatable means of repairing slab fractures of the third Tarsal Bone. Surgical repair is a viable alternative to conservative management.
