Main limitations
Limited numbers preclude conclusions with respect to yearlings and horses in jump race training .
Conclusion
Dorsoproximal
fragmentation
of
the
proximal
phalanx occurred most frequently medially and
in the forelimbs . Sidedness was not demonstrated . Although similar to previously reported data , variance in limb distribution is evident . Further research is required to determine whether concurrent intraarticular soft tissue lesions are aetiopathogenic or an additional result of the pathological changes leading to fragmentation . Fragmentation site was not always accurately identified radiographically .
