Abstract

Fractures are relatively common in equine practice and their aetiology can broadly be divided into three categories: fractures as a result of repetitive stress injury, traumatic fractures and pathological fractures. Stress fractures and fatigue injuries are most commonly seen in performance horses, in particular racehorses. Traumatic fractures can occur in all types of horses at many different anatomical sites. These fractures are frequently seen following a kick injury. Pathological fractures are less common, but may be seen secondary to osteomyelitis or neoplasia. This article will focus on the aetiopathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of stress fractures and fatigue injuries in horses.
