The occurrence of metatarsal splint bones in ruminants and their potential use in establishing phylogenetic relationships [PDF]
The occurrence of metatarsal splint bones was examined in 21 ruminant species. Lateral metatarsal splint bones were found in 75% of metatarsal specimens from mature moose (Alces alces) on Isle Royale, MI, USA, and 95% of specimens from Alaska and other ...

Significant forefoot varus deformity resulting in progressive stress fractures of all lesser metatarsal bones [PDF]
Stress fractures may occur in any bone, but appear most frequently in the metatarsal bones. Consecutive stress fractures of all lesser metatarsals in a short period are rare, and only a few cases have been described in the literature.

Cross-Sectional geometry of equine metacarpal and metatarsal bones [PDF]
Fractures of metacarpal and metatarsal bones are very common in horses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cross-sections and the cross-sectional moment of inertia and to determine the resistance to bending moments from proximal to distal on ...
