An unusual presentation of osteochondrosis in the elbows and tarsi of a Friesian colt

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary This case report describes the clinical, diagnostic imaging results and post‐mortem findings in a foal that underwent reassessment following surgical management of angular limb deformities (ALD) and acute onset of gait abnormalities. Upon presentation, the foal showed an abnormal stiff gait characterised by bilateral medial limb collapse during

Unusual presentation of osteomyelitis of the tuber calcanei in a 16‐month‐old gelding

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 16‐month‐old Morgan gelding was referred for evaluation of a right hindlimb lameness (grade 4/5, AAEP) accompanied by swelling of the right calcaneal region. Clinical signs had been present for approximately 4 weeks prior to referral.

Lateromedial and oblique radiographs detect most fetlock pathologies as effectively as a full series in horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Radiographic protocols for the metacarpo‐/tarsophalangeal joint during pre‐purchase examinations (PPE) vary internationally, but their impact on pathology detection remains unclear. Optimising imaging protocols is essential to balance diagnostic accuracy with workflow efficiency and radiation exposure.

Clinical and radiographic changes of carpi, tarsi and interphalangeal joints of beef zebu bulls on semen collection regimen

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia
Osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis are highly correlated to reproductive failure in bulls. This study aimed to evaluate the carpal, tarsal and interphalangeal lesions in beef zebu bulls on semen collection regimen.

Descriptive epidemiology of long‐term injuries in jump racing Thoroughbreds in Great Britain

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Race‐related injuries in horse racing, especially those requiring extended recovery, are a welfare concern and threaten the sport's social licence. Previous studies predominantly report on fatalities; however, serious non‐fatal musculoskeletal injuries often end horses' racing careers or have a high recurrence risk.

The effect of full‐limb flexion tests on static and dynamic muscle activity and locomotion asymmetry in owner‐sound horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Flexion tests are commonly used in equine locomotion examinations to identify underlying locomotor issues, yet their neuromuscular effects remain poorly understood. Response variability raises concerns about their clinical value in lameness assessments and pre‐purchase evaluations.

Experimental joint immobilization in guinea pigs. Effects on the knee joint [PDF]

In young and adult guinea pigs, the aftermath experimentally induced by the immobilization of the knee joint in hyperextended forced position was studied. Joint immobilization which varied from one to nine weeks was attained by plaster.

Osteology and arthrology of the ankle and tarsometatarsus of anoles (Iguania: Anolidae): not convergent with geckos but divergent from the ancestral iguanian condition

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...

Successful Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma Associated with Hypertrophic Osteopathy in a Cat

Veterinary Sciences
An eight-year-old spayed female Abyssinian cat presented with lameness. Palpation revealed swelling, heat, and a reduced range of motion in the stifle and tarsal joints in both hind limbs. A radiographic examination of both hind limbs revealed periosteal

Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...
