Western performance horses with fetlock lameness demonstrate radiographic evidence of chronic exercise remodelling
Horses in this study demonstrated changes associated with chronic exercise-induced remodelling and degenerative joint disease. While the degree of lameness did not correlate with the overall radiographic score, certain radiographic findings-P1 sclerosis, SCB cysts, and P1 fissures-were correlated with a higher degree of lameness.
