Abstract

Osteochondroma (OC) is a cartilage-capped exostosis. In horses, OC commonly develops on the caudaldistal metaphysis of the radius (CDMR). The purpose of study was to describe the outcomes of arthroscopy for thetreatment of OC on CDMR. Diagnosis was based on clinical signs (lameness and distention of carpal sheath),radiography (location and size of OC), and ultrasonography (location of OC, torn deep digital flexor tendon, fibrin,and effusion of carpal sheath). Arthroscopy was performed on 68 Thoroughbred horses with OC on CDMR. Sixtyof the 68 cases showed deep digital flexor tendinitis as a result of sharp protuberances of the OC. All horses survived,and 62 of the 68 cases returned to athletic function (racing) after arthroscopy. The present study demonstrated thatarthroscopy is useful for treating OC of CDMR in horses.
