Summary In consideration of first aid of appendicular fractures in the horse, the literature is inconsistent and in some cases wrong or misleading. This in large part is due to misunderstanding of fracture mechanics and this paper aims to give a contemporary review of the subject. It is particularly relevant for fractures that occur on the racecourse or in horses in training which, due to their aetiopathogenesis, have substantial site and configuration commonality. However, the techniques discussed are frequently also applicable to non‐racing injuries. Clinical features are important in assessing horses on the racecourse when imaging techniques are limited. This paper highlights these in order to guide decision making.

Bei der Differenzierung helfen Manipulation-und Provokationstests, die zumeist hinweisgebend auf eine schmerzhafte knöcherne Ursache in diesem Bereich sind; Crepitus ist gewöhnlich zu hören und/oder zu spüren (Mez 2007).

Diseases and lameness originating from the shoulder region are rare entities in the horse. Anatomy and diagnostic steps were summarizedin the first part of this review article. The second part summarizes differential diagnosis for shoulder lameness and their typical clinical presentation. Depending on the age of the patient, osteochondrosis and subchondral cysts must be considered. The biceps brachii muscle and tendon as well as the bicipital bursa can be affected by overuse-injury or septic conditions mainly occurring after trauma. The bursa of the infraspinatus muscle is an even less common cause of lameness in this region. Injuries to the scapula and suprascapular nerve, the supraglenoid tubercle, the greater tubercle, the deltoid tuberosity and humeroglenoid luxation are mainly caused by trauma. Shoulder problems in the horse, leave the clinician with a diagnostic challenge and limited experience for an accurate prognosis. Starting with articular lesions, osseous, tendinous and neuronal structures surrounding the shoulder joint are being discussed individually. A recent literature review delineates treatment options as well as prognostic experience, emphasizing on individual original work and especially pointing out conservative and surgical alternatives to each disease entity.Keywords: horse / biceps tendon / septic bicipital tenosynovitis / greater tubercle fracture / OCD / subchondrale bone cyst / Supraglenoid fracture / Sweenie syndrome / scapula / fracture Zitation: Gudehus T., Drumm N., Hahn J.

“…The implants in this case did not show any signs of failure, a complication seen in previous reports of repair under general anaesthesia (Adams and Turner ; Thomas and Livesey ; Mez et al . ). It is interesting to speculate whether it could have been possible to place these lag screws through stab incisions, thereby simplifying the procedure.…”
