“…In this study, racehorses most commonly presented with type II P3 fractures after racing or race training. Standardbreds were over‐represented in the study population, consistent with previous reports 1,2,5,13 . As these horses race on a hard surface in a counter‐clockwise direction, the lateral aspect of the left forelimb and medial aspect of the right forelimb are most common 1,2,4,13 .…”

“…Because the countersunk screw head might not be completely on a dense cortex, it is the senior author's experience that care should be taken to tighten the screw gradually and repeatedly to assure compression of bone under the screw head. It has been suggested that countersinking is not necessary for fixation of P3 fractures as the screw head sinks into the outer cortex of P3 when tightened 5 but intraoperative CT imaging has clearly shown that this does not occur. In the present study, 9/13 horses with delayed implant infection have surgery prior to January 2014 when the cannulated countersink tool was acquired, with an infection rate of 65%.…”
