Post‐mortem computed tomography features associated with fracture of the fetlock joint in racing <scp>Thoroughbreds</scp>
CT examination of fetlock joints post-mortem identified changes associated with both metacarpal condylar fracture and PSB fracture in racehorses. These findings show that pre-race CT screening has the potential to reduce fracture rates.
