“…Preoperative ultrasonography may have been able to highlight irregularities of the bone surface, but is also not consistent as it relies on the location of the lesion being peripheral. 7 Additional advanced imaging modalities such as CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may have more clearly defined the extent of the pathology at presentation.…”

“…During the initial surgery, the SDFT laceration was apposed to minimise any pain associated with partial or intermittent luxation and splitting either side of the calcaneal tuber. 7,13 A full limb cast was also applied to further reduce potential movement. Postoperative analgesia was initially provided by high-dose phenylbutazone (4.4 mg/kg IV BID); however, this proved insufficient.…”

The calcaneal tuberosity, due to its superficial location and prominent positioning, is predisposed to traumatic injury and synovial infection. Frequently, injury also involves the superficial digital flexor tendon either directly or through inflammation, swelling, adhesions and proliferative osteitis resulting in increased tension and persistent pain. This case report describes permanent superficial digital flexor tendon luxation to improve surgical access to the calcaneal tuber and alleviate pain associated with tension of the superficial digital flexor tendon following chronic septic calcaneal osteomyelitis and bursitis.

“…However, those fractures that do not respond to conservative treatment are usually treated with the application of a tension band-type repair. This can be achieved by applying one/two locking compression plates (LCP) on the plantarolateral aspect of the bone (Lischer & Auer, 2019). A minimally invasive approach using screws positioned in lag fashion has also been reported for the treatment of oblique fractures of the calcaneus in a foal (Bonilla & Smith, 2012).…”

A 9-year-old 390 kg games pony presented with acute onset of grade 5/5 (AAEP) right hindlimb (RH) lameness. During clinical examination, the source of lameness was localised to the tarsal region. Radiographic examination identified a closed, simple, nondisplaced, incomplete fracture of the calcaneal shaft. The pony was initially treated with box rest; however, despite an initial good response, the horse represented with a grade 5/5 (AAEP) RH lameness, 2 weeks after initial presentation. The decision was made to treat the fracture using a tarsal sleeve cast extending from mid-third of the tibia/crus to the level of distal metatarsus. The cast was replaced every 2 weeks and maintained for a total of 8 weeks. After cast removal, the horse was kept on strict box rest for 3 weeks. After discharge from the hospital, in-hand walking exercise from the stable was commenced and gradually increased over a 4-week period. The horse was then gradually reintroduced to small paddock turnout exercise for eight further weeks. The horse was able to return to full athletic function. Conservative treatment using a tarsal sleeve cast should be considered only in horses presenting an incomplete nondisplaced fracture of the calcaneal shaft.

“…The case report authored by Noguera Cender et al (2021) in this issue describes the surgical management of a complicated distal tibial physeal fracture. Physeal fractures involving the distal tibia are rare (Embertson et al 1986; Levine and Aitken 2017; Bramlage 2019; Lischer and Auer 2019). This is in contrast to the proximal tibial physis where Salter‐Harris type II fractures are not uncommon (Bramlage 2019).…”
