Localisation and outcome of presumed thoracolumbar vertebral stress fracture in 35 <scp>UK</scp> Thoroughbred racehorses using nuclear scintigraphy
The caudal lumbar vertebral column was the most common site of presumed thoracolumbar vertebral stress fracture, followed by the thoracolumbar junction. Lamina/articular process was the most common sublocation. Most horses had a positive outcome. Female sex was the only factor significantly associated with a worse outcome.
