“…In five cases (3, 5, 6, 7 and 8), hyperintense areas within the medullary cavity of the bony structures of the foot were present on STIR MRI sequences (Figure 6). These signal changes have been called bone marrow edema-type (BMO-t) lesions (Powell, 2011) and are compatible with fibrosis, bone edema, hemorrhage or bone necrosis (Dyson et al, 2005;Murray et al, 2006;Powell, 2011). The results of the STIR images in a study of Boado et al (2005) are similar to some results of the present study.…”

Penetrating injuries to the sole of the hoof are common in horses. Prognosis and treatment depend on the structures involved. In this report, nine horses are described with a penetrating injury to the sole of the hoof that then underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination. The radiographic examination performed in seven of these horses provided information about the bone involvement and an MRI examination was performed in all cases to obtain information about the affected soft tissues. MRI has excellent soft tissue contrast and can provide detailed images in any anatomical plane. For all nine horses, the MRI examination provided a clear guidance toward prognosis and a treatment plan. For two of the horses, the MRI examination confirmed that only superficial debridement was required. In seven of the horses, the MRI findings indicated that a more invasive approach was needed, such as navicular bursoscopy or street-nail procedure. This study illustrates that an MRI examination can provide useful additional information leading to an appropriate therapy and prognosis, and shows a good correspondence between MRI observations and surgical findings.

“…However, Boado et al (2005) did not perform histopathology on the bone marrow lesions. The prognosis of bone marrow lesions is very variable (Werpy, 2009;Powell, 2011). In the present study, it is shown that multiple bone mar-row edema-type lesions in cases of penetrating injury do not necessarily indicate a grave prognosis.…”

“…Based on the sMRI findings commonly seen in all cases, the common differential diagnoses include re-fracture, chronic fracture (delayed healing of the fractured bone), or a bone stress injury. These conditions which develop in the distal metacarpus/metatarsus are characterized by low signal intensity in the periphery of the lesion and a presence or absence of an associated linear high signal intensity on T1-weighted images; these features, along with a diffuse area of high signal intensity on fat-suppressed images [13] are consistent with the imaging characteristics of the present cases. From this, it was suggested that sMRI could be a useful tool for evaluating foot inflammation that may cause the recurrence of lameness.…”

Standing magnetic resonance imaging of distal phalanx fractures in 6 cases of Thoroughbred racehorse

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Six Thoroughbred racehorses with palmar process fractures of the distal phalanx were evaluated with standing magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI). In all the cases, the fractures were detectable on T1-weighted images and fat-suppressed images. Furthermore, multi-planar reconstruction images were useful for assessing the articular involvement of the fractures. Follow-up sMRI was obtainable in 3 cases, which revealed that the area of high signal intensity on fat-suppressed images decreased over time as symptoms improved. Our findings support the use of sMRI for the detailed evaluation of distal phalanx fractures including their articular involvement and the healing process.

“…Bone marrow edema-type lesions were characterized by areas of hyperintense bone on STIR MRI sequences and abnormally increased radiopharmaceutical uptake on scintigraphic images as described. 26,27 Of the 21 bone lesions detected on the distal condyles of the third metacarpal or metatarsal bones, 7, 9, 4, and 1 were assigned lesion grades of 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively (Table 1). Among the 14 lesions with grades ≥ 2, 6 and 8 involved the distal condyles of the third metacarpal and third metatarsal bones, respectively.…”

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of track surface firmness on the development of musculoskeletal injuries in French Trotters during 4 months of race training. ANIMALS 12 healthy 3-year-old French Trotters. PROCEDURES Horses were paired on the basis of sex and body mass. Horses within each pair were randomly assigned to either a hard-track or soft-track group. The counterclockwise training protocol was the same for both groups. Surface firmness of each track was monitored throughout the training period. Radiography, ultrasonography, MRI, and scintigraphy were performed on all 4 limbs of each horse before and after 2 and 4 months of training. Lesions were described, and lesion severity was classified with a 5-point system, where 0 = no lesions and 4 = severe lesion. RESULTS 86 lesions were identified, of which 46 (53.5%) were classified as potentially clinically relevant (grade, ≥ 2). Of the 18 moderate and severe lesions, 15 were identified in horses of the hard-track group, and 10 of those were in forelimbs. Moderate to severe tendinopathy of the superficial digital flexor tendon of the forelimb developed in 3 of the 6 horses of the hard-track group but none of the horses of the soft-track group. Metatarsal condyle injuries were more frequent in horses of the hard-track group than horses of the soft-track group. Severe lesions were identified only in left limbs. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that track surface firmness is a risk factor for musculoskeletal injuries in horses trained for harness racing.
