A MFC transcondylar screw decreases the area of a MFC SCL on craniocaudal radiographs and eliminates lameness in ∼ 75% of horses by 120 days. The simplicity and lack of specialized equipment required make this technique a useful option for the treatment of equine SCL causing lameness.

Serum protein concentrations may be used to estimate sIgG concentrations in newborn foals. Further investigation using a larger sample size is needed to validate this methodology of assessing humoral immunity in neonatal foals.

Body position affected IAP and APP in healthy anesthetized horses. These effects should be considered when developing IAP acquisition methods for use in horses with abdominal disease.

Stifle flexion increases force, contact area, and stress load on the medial tibial plateau and is most pronounced caudally. An MFC defect alters load on the medial tibial plateau, and a transcondylar screw may reverse some of those changes.
