“…A large periarticular osteophyte often forms between the extensor carpi radialis and common digital extensor tendons on the distodorsal aspect of the radius (Pool 1996). Conflict exists over the correlation between the presence of subchondral sclerosis and the overlying cartilage damage (Martinelli et al 1996;Pool 1996). Other sites which frequently show articular cartilage degeneration, periarticular lipping and osteochondral chip fractures include the proximodorsal aspect of the radiocarpal and intermediate carpal bones, the distodorsal aspects of these 2 bones and the proximodorsal aspect of the third carpal bone.…”

“…However, if the pain associated with a lameness is caused by subchondral bone or periarticular changes, intraarticular analgesia may not alleviate the lameness completely (Martinelli et al 1996). Theoretically, intra-articular analgesia should be more specific for localisation to a specific joint.…”

“…Most early publications relate to high‐field images acquired under general anaesthesia. The majority of publications relating to the equine MCP/MTP joint have been cadaver‐based studies aimed at assessing the ability of MRI to detect lesions or comparison with other imaging modalities (Martinelli et al . 1996b, 1997; Murray et al .…”

“…MR imaging has been used to evaluate the equine MCP joint in cadaveric samples, and to compare MR findings with normal anatomy and results of other imaging techniques 8–10 . Good correlation between the thickness of cartilage and subchondral bone assessed histologically and in MR images has been found 11 .…”

We report the use of low-field standing magnetic resonance imaging in the standing horse for the diagnosis of osseous lesions in the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) or metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint that were not apparent using standard radiography. Thirteen horses were studied and all had thickening of the subchondral bone plate and abnormal signal intensity in the adjacent spongiosa in either the condyles of metacarpal/metatarsal III or the proximal phalanx or both. Abnormalities were characterized by diffuse decreased signal intensity on T1-weighting adjacent to the subchondral bone and within the spongiosa in at least two imaging planes; in the absence of increases in signal intensity in fat-suppressed images, this change was interpreted as bone sclerosis. Nine horses also had a diffuse decreased signal intensity on T2 Ã -weighting in the same areas and five had a diffuse increase in signal intensity in fat-suppressed images in conjunction with a decrease in signal intensity on T1-and T2 Ã -weighted images; the increase in signal intensity in fat-suppressed images was interpreted as fluid accumulation. Five horses had a focal area of change in signal intensity within the subchondral bone with apparent loss of definition between the subchondral bone and the articular cartilage. Eleven horses were available for follow up, of which eight were sound and three remained lame. We conclude that lameness originating from the MCP or MTP joint may be associated with osseous damage in horses of any signalment in the absence of radiographic changes.
