Racing performance after arthroscopic removal of apical sesamoid fracture fragments in Thoroughbred horses age ≥ 2 years: 84 cases (1989–2002)

Abstract

The determination of prognosis for differing sites in TB racehorses should increase knowledge of apical proximal sesamoid bone fractures and improve communication from veterinarian to owner, and trainer, on the potential for arthroscopic restoration of the ability to race.
