Some Conditions of the Proximal Sesamoid Bones in the Horse

Abstract: Summary Sesamoid lameness poses many problems to the clinician. Owing to the complexity of the fetlock joint and its components, it is often difficult to determine the exact nature and site of the pathological changes on clinical examination. Accurate diagnosis is dependent on radiological examination but changes seen on such examinations may not be demonstrable until the condition has become chronic. Many of the lesions of the sesamoids seen on radiological examination are difficult to interpret and they rela… Show more

“…Of these shift-positive sesamoid bones, 44% were located in the lame limb. However, not every bone with a high radiological grade (3)(4) showed this shift, nor could the shift only be found in the worse proximal sesamoid bone of the lame limb. This is not completely unexpected because sesamoidosis usually involves both forelimbs.…”

“…fen. Die röntgenologischen Abweichungen sind deutlicher erkennbar und treten an den Gleichbeinen früher in Erscheinung als an den anderen Knochen, die das Fesselgelenk bilden (Fraser, 1971).

“…The radiographic changes are more evident and appear earlier on the sesamoid bones than on the other bones forming the fetlock joint (Fraser 1971 of Thoroughbreds, found that the periarticular region of the cranial and caudal aspects of the distal end of the third metacarpal (metatarsal) bone were difficutt areas to assess radiographically using the four recommended projections. Lesions in these areas were missed on radiographic examination and lesions identified radiographically appeared smaller than those found at necropsy.…”
