A Monteggia fracture is a humero-radial luxation combined with a fracture of the ulna. It is a rare injury, infrequently reported in the horse. This case report describes the surgical repair of such a fracture in a 4-month-old filly.

Data show that lag screw fixation is successful at restoring ability to race in horses suffering from dorsal cortical stress fractures.

A 19-year-old Thoroughbred gelding presented with sudden onset, non-weight bearing lameness in the right hindlimb. Radiography confirmed distal luxation of the patella, which was replaced into its normal anatomical location under general anaesthesia. There were no pathological sequelae noted on follow-up examination 9 months after the initial injury. To our knowledge, this is a rare manifestation of patellar luxation, only reported once previously in the equine literature.

The following article discusses the clinical appearance, diagnosis, management and prognosis of abdominal wall tearing and prepubic tendon (PPT) ruptures of mares. ManagementDecision making in these cases can be difficult, as saving both mare and fetus in advanced cases is unusual in the

Excellent fertility can be achieved following surgical repair of RVF and our results suggest that delaying breeding until the following breeding season is not necessary. In addition, breeding in the same cycle as the surgical repair is a previously unreported technique that should be considered to maintain normal fertility and a yearly foaling interval.
