High-field magnetic resonance imaging enables diagnosis of central tarsal bone fractures in performance horses with lameness localized to the proximal metatarsus and tarsus
High-field MRI enabled diagnosis and detailed evaluation of CTB fracture configuration and concurrent bone and soft tissue pathology. Dorsomedial-plantarolateral oblique radiographic projections at approximately 50° medial to the sagittal plane may improve initial CTB fracture identification in performance horses.
