Carpal fractures in horses

The temporal relationship between inflammatory joint disease, degenerative joint disease and intra-articular fractures of the carpus is poorly understood at present. Clinical and radiographic evidence of all three may be present at the time a horse is examined. More than one type of pathogenesis may be involved. Articular fractures may occur as a result of a single episode of overloading of a previously normal structure and give rise to an acute inflammatory response. If untreated, the combination of physical disruption of the articular surface and the release of inflammatory enzymes may result in degenerative joint disease.
