| Popis: | Summary A 12-year-old Morgan broodmare presented for a nonweightbearing right forelimb lameness. Radiography and computed tomography confirmed the presence of a pathological fracture of the proximal first phalanx through a large subchondral bone cyst (SBC) in the right forelimb and a large SBC in the proximal first phalanx of the left forelimb. Surgical repair of the large palmar medial eminence fracture of the proximal first phalanx fracture was performed using bone screws placed in lag fashion placed through stab incisions after debridement and bone grafting of the SBCs. Approximately 6 months after surgery the mare was ambulating comfortably at pasture. This case report describes a fracture through a large subchondral bone cyst in a horse despite chronicity and ongoing bone remodelling. Careful consideration regarding exercise or use should be considered in horses with large SBCs. |
