“…In tarsocrural joints, the total of 70 (19.3%) horses that had OC/OCD DIT and/or OC/OCD LTT (diagnosed by the plantarolateral (45°)‐dorsomedial view alone) was significantly higher (P = 0.03 and P<0.001, respectively) than recorded in comparable Norwegian (14.3%) and Swedish (10.5%) studies (Grondahl 1991; Sandgren et al . 1993).…”

“…Several joints are affected but the femoropatellar, tarsocrural, fetlock and scapulohumeral joints most commonly. For tarsocrural OC, a prevalence of 14.3 and 10.5% were reported in Norwegian and Swedish Standardbreds, respectively (Grondahl 1991; Sandgren et al . 1993).…”

“…Various studies have documented high prevalences of osteochondrotic lesions in the horse (e.g. Hoppe, 1984a,b; Harfst, 1986; Alvarado et al., 1989; Grøndahl, 1991, 1992; Heinz, 1993; Merz, 1993; Kirchner, 1996; Leonhardt, 1996; Kahler, 2001; Pieramati et al., 2003; Sandgren et al., 1993a,b; Schougaard et al., 1990; Thomsen, 1995). However, many reports refer either to radiographic surveys in limited numbers of very young horses (2 years old or younger), i.e.…”

The prevalence of osseous fragments in different limb joints was analysed in 3749 young Warmblood riding horses, which were pre-selected for sale at auction from 1991 to 1998 by the Association of Hanoverian Warmblood Breeders (Verband hannoverscher Warmblutzüchter e.V.) in Verden (Aller), Germany. The evaluation of these horses was based on a standardized radiological examination, including the distal interphalangeal (DIJ), the proximal interphalangeal (PIJ), the metacarpo- and metatarsophalangeal (MC/MTJ) and the tarsocrural joints (TCJ). In 32% of all horses at least one osseous fragment was found on these radiographs. TCJ were affected in 9.6% of the horses and MC/MTJ in 20.7%. The percentage of horses affected in the MTJ was significantly higher (13.7%) than that of horses affected in the MCJ (9.5%). The prevalences of osseous fragments were considerably lower in DIJ (4.5%) and PIJ (0.9%). Osseous fragments only occurred either in DIJ or PIJ or MC/MTJ or TCJ in 87% of the affected horses. Depending on the joint type, osseous fragments were found in analogous joints in the front and the hind limbs in up to 26% of the affected horses, whilst bilateral affection occurred in between 10% and 46% of the horses. Distribution of osseous fragments in the limb joints investigated here did not differ significantly between male and female horses. There was a significant increase in the percentage of horses with osseous fragments in MC/MTJ during the study period. The results of this study indicate the need to act against the high prevalences of osseous fragments in the limb joints of young Warmblood riding horses.
