Comparison of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), Fan-Beam Computed Tomography (FBCT), and Low-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for Detection of Equine Fetlock Lesions
… applied to diagnosing lameness localised to the fetlock region in standing horses. A full understanding of the benefits and limitations of CT and MRI for detection of bone and soft tissue lesions is essential for the most efficient application in equine practices. The aim of the work presented in …

Utility of inbreeding coefficient and sire as predictors for osteochondrosis risk in Standardbred horses
… plantar osteochondral fragments (POF) of the fetlock (n = 167). Horses with both hock OCD and fetlock POF were excluded. Inbreeding coefficients were obtained from a publically available database. Logarithmic regression analyses were conducted for each condition, with inbreeding coefficient, …

Biomechanische Untersuchungen am Fesselgelenk (Articulatio metacarpophalangea) des Pferdes
The fetlock joint (articulatio metacarpophalangea) plays an exceptional role within the limb, as it is the only joint which is in hyperextension in the standing horse. It is therefore exposed to special loading situations compared to other joints. The objective of this study is to describe in a …

Three stories
… of a thoroughbred, narrow enough to snap at the fetlock, tapering to elegant knees, his coat blacker than the sun-worn backs of the farm workers and as he sidestepped and pranced on light, unshod hooves through the sand, she let her eyes run over the lines of muscle and realised at three years …

Effects of sodium hyaluronate and triamcinolone acetonide on proteoglycan metabolism in equine articular chondrocytes treated with interleukin-1
… administration. Chondrocytes were collected from fetlock joints of ten horses euthanized for reasons unrelated to joint disease. Chondrocyte pellets were treated with media (negative control); media containing IL-1 only (positive control); or media containing IL-1 with HA only (0.5 or 2.0 mg/mL), …

Effects of beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation on gluteus medius muscle fiber composition and muscle performance in adult Thoroughbred horses exercising to fatigue on a high-speed treadmill
… length and maximal extension angle of the fore fetlock, and a shortening (P < 0.05) of the stance phase of the gait cycle. Integrated EMG (iEMG) increased (P < 0.05) with increasing treadmill speeds for both the BF and ST, with the BF exhibiting greater iEMG values than the ST. In summary, HMB …

Growth of Thoroughbreds fed Different Levels of Protein and Supplemented with Lysine and Threonine
… length, front and hind cannon length, physis and fetlock circumference. Blood analysis included total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), creatinine (CREA), and plasma urea nitrogen (PUN). Effect of diet and time were evaluated by analysis of variance with repeated measures. No differences were found in …

Inflammatory and Immune Effects of Intra-Articular Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Horses
… mares, free of musculoskeletal disease in the fetlocks. The 4 fetlock joints were injected on day 0 with 15 million MSC from the described MSC groups and were assessed for 28 days for clinical and inflammatory parameters representing synovitis, swelling and pain. Arthroscopic examination and …

Riding Ability in Icelandic Horses – Effect of Conformation and the ‘Gait Keeper’ Mutation in the DMRT3 Gene
… the limbs revealed carpal and tarsal valgus and fetlock valgus to be frequent findings in the breed. The second part of the thesis involved genotyping of 667 breeding horses with respect to the DMRT3 ‘Gait keeper’ mutation. The majority (76.3%) was homozygous mutant (AA) and 22.5% were …
