Equine

SGT fractures of various durations can be repaired in a wide range of horses with transversely positioned LCPs, and allow return to athletic function.

To describe an ultrasound assisted technique for desmotomy of the palmar/plantar annular ligament (PAL), determine its efficacy and intraoperative complications.

The LCP is a viable method of internal fixation for various types of ulnar fractures, with most horses in this series returning to soundness

Selected small equids with long bone fractures, and without athletic expectations, can be managed with external coaptation

SCLs in the medial tibial condyle can occur in association with SCLs of the medial femoral condyle, with a poor prognosis for return to athletic function

Hind limb lameness can cause compensatory load redistribution evidenced as ipsilateral forelimb lameness

Internal fixation based on an accurate diagnosis of the individual fracture configuration can result in a very good prognosis

Favourable outcome for return to the intended use and athletic competition

Ultrasonographic examination of suspensory ligament should allow more accurate prognostic advice and intervention and prevention opportunities for clinical SLBI

A highly effective and minimally invasive surgical procedure when conservative treatment is unsuccessful
