Apical fracture of the proximal sesamoid bone in Standardbred horses: 43 cases (1990-1996)

Abstract

Dimensions of the apical fracture fragment of the proximal sesamoid bone in Standardbred horses and degree of suspensory ligament damage did not affect outcome. Prognosis for return to racing soundness is good in horses that had raced before injury and fair in horses that had not raced before injury.
