Computed tomography features of the fetlock joint in elite racing Thoroughbred horses
POD is common in elite staying Thoroughbred racehorses, however, negatively impacts performance. The prevalence of PSG lysis supports the use of CT screening of high-risk populations of Thoroughbred racehorses in fracture risk management. Further work is required to determine if these findings are applicable more generally to other racing Thoroughbreds.
